Judy Gold knows the value of a good joke – and the steep price of silencing comedians. Unnerved and infuriated, Judy shares her reverence for the intimacy of collective laughter and her passion for the vital work comedians do to bring us together, make us think, and speak truth to power.
Based on her book “Yes, I Can Say That: When They Come for the Comedians, We Are All in Trouble,” the comedy veteran is taking the stage to tell the fascists and crybabies to shove their hate and political correctness up their respective asses. This wickedly funny new one-woman show is a big-mouthed and big-hearted call for truth, kindness, common sense, and most of all, laughter.
Lead support for Yes, I Can Say That! is provided by Dasha Epstein, the Garfield Family Fund in memory of Johanna Garfield, Jim Kierstead, The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation, Carol Roaman, and Lynn Bartner-Wiesel and Elisha Wiesel.
Additional support provided by Riki Kane Larimer, Daryl Roth, and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
