Sarah Silverman attends a news conference on the movie ‘The School of Rock.’ The comedian is scheduled to visit OSU Nov. 1.

Sarah Silverman is slated to visit Ohio State Nov. 1, the Ohio Union Activities Board announced Thursday via its Twitter account.

The 42-year-old Emmy-nominated comedian, born in Bedford, N.H., has appeared in movies such as “School of Rock” and voiced a character in “Wreck-It Ralph.” She has also appeared in television shows like “Saturday Night Live” and “The Sarah Silverman Program,” in which she was the star and producer.

“Sarah Silverman was a great option for OUAB — shes’s really funny and she’s starting to do more appearances,” MacGregor Obergfell, president of OUAB, said in an email. “This event allows OUAB to bring one of the most prominent female comedians of our time, so it was a great fit for campus.”

The event is scheduled to take place in the Mershon Auditorium at 7 p.m.

Tickets are available at the Ohio Union information desk and are free for students with a valid BuckID.

OUAB could not disclose any costs of the event.
