Letting comedy light the way in the darkest corner of her life, Silverman talks about the absurdities of death (and life)— from unexpectedly finding the “deal of a lifetime” while planning their funerals to cherishing the bittersweet experience of hearing her mother’s last words, to “deathbed binge-watching [and] an ill-timed fart.”
This is Silverman’s second original comedy special with Netflix, following 2017’s “Sarah Silverman: Speck of Dust.” It’s her fourth special overall, joining 2005’s “Jesus Is Magic” and the Emmy-winning “We Are Miracles” in 2013.
