In the stand-up history books, Sarah Silverman will most certainly be recognized as a comedy pioneer of using sex as a weapon. That territory has been somewhat ceded in recent years to Amy Schumer and Nikki Glaser, while their "elder" has explored her dramatic chops, most notably in the critically acclaimed film "I Smile Back" and the Showtime series "Masters of Sex." But Silverman hasn't abandoned her ability to disarm audiences with a sweet-and-sour routine that will surely remind fans that she hasn't gone completely Hollywood. The clever, and often caustic, Todd Glass opens. (8 p.m. Sat., Skyway Theatre, 711 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $49.50-$59.50. 612-333-6100.)
