【棟篤笑星】Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman的自傳，書名叫「BEDWETTER」，但我總係睇成「BE WATER」。

Sarah Silverman是智慧型表演者，女人，猶太人，夠膽講笑得罪人。有人講過，講得棟篤笑嘅人，好多都有不堪回首嘅過去。

Sarah Silverman就係一個「瀨尿人」，瀨到十幾歲，睇過好多醫生，間中會包片。佢細細個去朋友屋企，朋友要佢留底過夜，佢想死——大佬，瀨尿點算？結果佢真係瀨左，仲要瀨左落朋友媽媽借畀佢嘅睡衣同埋睡袋，呢位媽媽見到之後發脾氣，仲大叫：到底係邊個做嘅！

好彩，唔知算唔知好彩，當日，巨星殆落。

呢位媽媽發脾四時，佢老公亦大叫：貓王死咗。木就係咁，貓王「救」左佢。

我諗，Sarah Silvemann一早就將呢個經歷變成左笑話，同好多人講過。

棟篤笑就係咁神奇，佢就好似畀個機會你，公開展示身上嘅傷疤——「你睇下，呢個疤幾好笑！」從此，呢個疤，可能仲係好痛，但係可以痛住笑。

所以，亦都有人話，棟篤笑其實好自虐。

十一歲個年，Sarah Silverman去左個猶太夏令營，八個星期。喺朋友屋企過一晚，都已經有咁大陰影，喺外面瞓八個星期，就好似連續八個星期發惡夢咁，佢話半夜會偷偷用腳趾夾塊尿片出嚟著，朝早爬起身，偷偷將瀨濕咗嘅尿片收埋袋入面，最底最底。出CAMP個日，大家都好開心，嚟接佢嘅阿媽都好開心，係咁幫佢影相，11歲嘅Sarah其實勁唔開心，叫阿媽唔好再影，佢阿媽仲話：「第時睇番你會好開心。」就喺佢行去阿媽架車個幾步路，佢崩潰咗——

“As I walked to the car, enduring Mom’s relentless camera flashes, a wave of …something…washed over me, and instantly transformed who I was. It happened as fast as a cloud covering the sun. It was at once devastatingly real and terrifyingly intangible. I felt helpless, but not the familiar bedwetting sense. As quickly and casually as someone catches a flue, I caught depression, and it would last for the next three years.”

Sarah Silverman最後都爬番起身，亦無再瀨尿，而呢啲通通都成就了而家嘅佢。
