“Absorbing, amusing, and, at times, even moving … Silverman is the spiritual progeny of Lenny Bruce and Adam Sandler, a potty-mouthed provocateur whose comic persona is predicated on tracing the manifold absurdities of ethnic, religious, and gender identity in gleefully infantile ways.” – The New Yorker
“The Bedwetter is typically off the wall, sharp and often very funny, as Silverman tackles her dysfunctional and daft childhood with an acerbic eye and a sense of the absurd.” – Big Issue Scotland
“A cohesive narrative of how a rebellious comic perspective evolved and became inseparable from the person who employs it, and how anyone who could find offense in that is really the butt of the joke.” – New York Times
“Silverman is holding a painfully honest comic mirror to our world and pointing out that what it reflects can be pretty ugly. Bedwetting, as she found out, is the least of our problems.” – Guardian

From the outrageously filthy and oddly innocent comedienne Sarah Silverman comes a memoir—her first book—that is at once shockingly personal, surprisingly poignant, and still pee-in-your-pants funny. If you like Sarah’s television show The Sarah Silverman Program, or memoirs such as Chelsea Handler’s Are You There Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea and Artie Lange’s Too Fat to Fish, you’ll love The Bedwetter.
