Brisk and pleasingly outrageous.
Hank Stuever, Washington Post
Overview
In her first-ever HBO solo special, Sarah Silverman takes the stage for an evening of adults-only stand-up comedy. Taped live in front of an intimate audience of 39 fans at Largo, a music and comedy club in Los Angeles, Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles features Silverman taking aim at such subjects as cell-phone porn, crazy religions, specialty deodorants, terrible roommates, eyebrow waxing, her 19-year-old dog, Obama and Republicans, having babies, Pixar movies, the miracle of existence, and more.

Top critics, in their words

Nevertheless, the HBO special - in which Silverman plays to a 39-seat room, the most intimate of standup settings - offers a pretty good metaphor for her career, opting for the intimacy of a side room instead of the main stage.

Fresh
The satisfaction that you will experience is perfectly in sync with the mellow alternating gurgles of laughter and expressions of discomfort emanating from the small audience... and maybe that's the point.
