What was the title of Sarah Silverman’s 2005 stand-up comedy film?

The story behind the answer

Sarah Silverman’s 2005 stand-up comedy film was titled Jesus Is Magic.

The film combines a filmed stage performance with musical numbers and satirical material. Silverman’s persona in the movie is deliberately provocative and deadpan, using a polished, innocent-seeming delivery to frame jokes about religion, race, politics, and social taboos. The result is part concert film and part comedy feature rather than a conventional narrative movie.

The title can be confused with later Silverman releases and television specials. A Speck of Dust was a 2017 Netflix special, while We Are Miracles was an earlier HBO special. Jesus Is Magic is specifically the 2005 film associated with Silverman’s transition from club and television appearances to a feature-length showcase. Its musical interludes are also a distinctive part of the movie’s format.
