This week we are honored, thrilled, and simply kvelling that we have Judy Gold on the podcast.
Judy has had an absolutely stunning career as a hilarious stand-up comedian, a podcaster, actress, playwright, book author, Emmy-award winning TV writer, producer, social commentator and activist. In other words, Judy makes the world a better place.
Judy is the author of the critically acclaimed and very timely book Yes I Can Say That: When They Come For The Comedians, We Are All In Trouble. She’s the host of the hit podcast, Kill Me Now with Judy Gold. And she currently writes for and plays the role of Chaya in the wildly loved TV show Better Things.
This week, our first of two episodes with Judy, she shares stories about some of the many things in her life that inform her comedy: her mother, her children, her wife, couples therapy and her relationship to Judaism. She tells an amazing story about helping to change the landscape of sensitivity training regarding same-sex parenting, and touches upon her comedy influences including the impact of and importance of Joan Rivers.
