Which comedian released the 2005 stand-up film Jesus Is Magic?

Sarah Silverman released the 2005 stand-up film Jesus Is Magic.

Jesus Is Magic combines filmed stand-up performance with musical interludes and sketches. Silverman uses an intentionally provocative stage persona, presenting taboo subjects through irony, deadpan delivery, and carefully controlled exaggeration.

The film was directed by Liam Lynch and adapted from Silverman’s one-woman stage show. It gave audiences outside the live comedy circuit a concentrated version of her early performance style and helped establish her as a major comedian in film and television.

The title is sometimes confused with Silverman’s television series The Sarah Silverman Program, which premiered on Comedy Central in 2007. Jesus Is Magic is a film, not a television special, and its release predates that series by two years.
