UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Visual Entertainment releases the wickedly funny, twisted, and edgy film, Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic on DVD June 6, 2006. The sexy Sarah Silverman is outrageous, brilliant and absolutely hilarious in her skewering of subjects that might ordinarily be deemed as taboo and off-limits, offering viewers an opportunity to laugh at things without guilt or repercussion. The New Yorker calls her "the hippest comic working today." Written by Sarah Silverman and directed by Liam Lynch, Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic will be available in its original unrated, uncut, theatrical version for $26.99.

In conjunction with the DVD release, the official soundtrack for Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic will also be released June 6, 2006 on Interscope Records. It contains songs and stand-up material from the film, as well as hysterical exclusive tracks not included in the theatrical release or DVD.

Known as one of the funniest and most provocative people in comedy, Sarah Silverman has been compared to the legendary Lenny Bruce. Sarah makes some sharp, frequently shocking but always astute comedic observations, from her casual, self-deprecating barbs about ethnicity and sexuality, to hot-button racial jokes and right down the line to such taboo-shattering targets as AIDS and the Holocaust. It's comedy you have to see to believe. The film comprises Silverman's outrageous performance interwoven with stylish musical numbers and backstage intrigue. Comedians Bob Odenkirk and Brian Posehn make appearances along with Silverman's band, The Silver Men.

"We are thrilled to bring an edgy comedy masterpiece to the market," said Soumya Sriraman, vice president of marketing and operations for Visual Entertainment. "Sarah Silverman's un-politically correct style has earned her an impressive following and we are confident that the DVD release of Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic will be a success."
