Yes, Boston fans actually offered sneakers to Sarah Silverman

The comedian previously took to Twitter to ask for shoes ahead of her two shows at The Wilbur.

Sarah Silverman performed at The Wilbur Thursday night and the comedian had a very specific request.

Silverman asked show-goers for a pair of size eight and a half women’s (or size seven men’s) basketball sneakers, saying she needed to borrow them for as-yet-unidentified purposes.

Though she hasn’t Tweeted about the shoes since, she got plenty of replies online.

Fans even asked her to play a pickup game once she got her new(ish) sneaks.

Silverman has another performance Friday night and fans attending that show are eager to offer up their shoes, too.

No word from Silverman yet on if her Cinderella sneaker wish was fulfilled, but whatever the actress is doing with her time in Boston seems to be affecting her.
