Sarah Kate Silverman (born December 1, 1970) is an American comedienne, writer, actress, singer and musician. Her satirical comedy addresses social taboos and controversial topics such as racism, sexism, and religion.
Silverman first gained notice as a writer and occasional performer on Saturday Night Live. She starred in and produced The Sarah Silverman Program, which ran from 2007 to 2010, on Comedy Central. She often performs her act mocking bigotry and stereotypes of ethnic groups and religious denominations by having her comic character endorse them in an ironic fashion.
Sarah Silverman, the youngest of four daughters, was born in Manchester, New Hampshire. Her mother, Beth Ann Halpin, was George McGovern's personal campaign photographer and founded the theater company New Thalian Players. Her father, Donald Silverman, was a social worker by training who ran the discount clothing store Crazy Sophie's Outlet. She was raised without religion, though she is ethnically Jewish.
She appeared in community theater at age 12, most notably with Community Players of Concord, New Hampshire in Annie and also appeared on a local television show in the Boston area called Community Auditions at age 15. At seventeen, she performed stand-up comedy in a restaurant, singing a song she called "Mammaries."
Don't you make any trouble
Don't you break any bubble
If you wanna be safe don't make waves
Hear what I say, don't make waves
Don't make waves
These foreign armies march across your land
Witness the downfall of all your plans
Their lethal rays bring towers down to dust
Their life-detector pick up waves from us
Keep your mind off the airways
Don't transmit any relays
If you wanna be safe don't make waves
What I say, don't make waves
Don't you make any trouble
You just wait in your bubble
If you wanna be safe don't make waves
Oh no no, don't make waves
Don't make waves
Used to dream I was in Thailand
I found no comfort in a spoon
And the band was always high, man
Till we ran right out of tune
Don't you make any trouble
Don't you break any bubble
If you wanna be safe don't make waves
Oh no no, don't make waves
Don't you cause any hassle
Don't you play like an asshole
If you wanna get paid don't make waves
What I say, don't make waves
Don't make waves
