Judy Gold – JEWDY! JEWDY! JEWDY!
Laurie Beechman Theatre – January 11^th 2010 – 7:00 pm

By Elli – The King Of Broadway

When you go see Judy Gold, (the Emmy-winning actress/comedienne recently seen Off-Broadway in 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother), perform her latest show, “Jewdy! Jewdy! Jewdy!” prepare to laugh your a** off, and make sure you don’t sit in the front row…

Ms. Gold’s website says, “It’s about a girl named Judy…”  and In her new stand-up comedy show, currently playing at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, it really is. Ms. Gold holds back nothing when attacking the anti-smoking ads wth ‘Marie from the Bronx’, taking the kids to day care, or discussing how to boil an egg with her mother on the phone. Speaking of her mother, Ms. Gold tells us she calls her mother every day – just to get new material.

Ms. Gold’s humor brings back the Jewish comics of the ‘Borscht belt’ days in the Catskills – with some naughty words included. While giving us a hilarious rant about the daily goings on of a Jewish, lesbian, mother of 2 boys, with a loving partner and ‘Shwendy’ the hated ex, she still manages to engage the audience, calling out ‘did this ever happen to you’ questions. And she expects answers, which is why you should avoid the front row – unless you like to be picked on!

Using visual aids, Ms. Gold punctuates many of her stories with a projector and screen, showing us pictures of her two boys, her ex, her family, “That’s Jesus Christ over there”, and even her son’s Bar Mitzvah invitation list, with commentary on each of the invitees, of course. Oh, and let’s not forget Marie from the Bronx!

Judy Gold will definitely leave you laughing and wondering, where is David Fleischman?

Judy Gold won two Daytime Emmy Awards for her work as a writer and producer on The Rosie O’Donnell Show. She was a regular on Hollywood Squares and has appeared on numerous TV series such as All American Girl and HBO’s At the Multiplex. She can also be seen regularly on Logo TV doing her standup comedy and on TruTV’s “The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest”
