Kill Me Now is a weekly podcast hosted by award winning comedian and writer, Judy Gold. Since Judy always seems to be pissed-off about something, she thought why not interview celebrities about what makes them angry – from the extraordinary to the mundane. Whether it’s your cheap friend who always gets up from the table when the check comes, to injustices such as inequality & equal pay, Judy and her guests vent with wit, humor and passion while you laugh your ass off.
Those in the creative arts industry are used to having to come up with new content or reinvent themselves on a regular basis. However, comedians face specific challenges not faced by other creatives such as musicians, writers, or artists. In this episode, American standup comedian and actress, Judy Gold, talks about some of the more general challenges and changes faced by comics, as well as some that are particularly as a result of the pandemic.

In her 3rd CD, “Conduct Unbecoming”, Judy covers being part of the LGBQT+ community, having children in her fifties, and when they become a teenager wanting a tattoo.
Judy Gold’s second CD, “Kill Me Now” is here NOW, just in time for the holidays. I promise it'll make you want to live. Already sick of Xmas songs? Nothing brings holiday cheer more than listening to a loud Jewish lesbian telling jokes.
Judy Gold’s first CD, “Judith’s Roommate Had A Baby” is a hilarious collection of her best bits along with hysterical encounters with her audience.
When They Come for the Comedians We Are All in Trouble
From award-winning comedian Judy Gold, an equal parts thoughtful and hilarious polemic on the current efforts to censor comedians, arguing that they undermine the art—and purpose—of comedy itself.
No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold. If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech, it would be Judy. – Amy Schumer
Judy Gold’s years of blazing free speech trails serve her well in this thoughtful funny book. – Jon Stewart
Part memoir and part stand-up routine, this hilarious and affecting play breaks down just what makes Jewish mothers so lamentable, laughable, and lovable. Comedienne Judy Gold and playwright Kate Moira Ryan seamlessly weave actual interviews with Jewish mothers across the United States together with memories from Gold’s childhood and her own experiences as a Jewish mother in order to create a performance piece that explores it all: from rugelach to rabbis, matzoh to marriage, Ann Landers to Anne Frank, and guilt to G-D.
Bernie Sanders inauguration memes are what this country needed
January 20, 2021 • CNN.com
This morning I picked up my phone immediately, but it was not for news about Trump. It was for a different FOMO (fear of missing out). The FOMO…on something really funny.
It started with a funny enough real picture of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, socially distanced and a little cranky-faced on a folding chair on the Capitol steps in a drab GoreTex jacket and big, brown hippy mittens, arms and legs folded for warmth, glasses and paper mask askew at President Joe Biden’s inauguration. As soon as the world laid eyes on that image Wednesday, it exploded across photoshopping screens and then the internet.
Bernie Sanders — the long-serving, self-described democratic socialist, the scourge of economic inequality and now the powerful incoming chairman of the Senate Budget Committee — has inadvertently provided us with something we have been robbed of for the past four years, good old fashioned laughter.

Comedian Judy Gold doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind. In her new book “Yes, I Can Say That,” the veteran stand-up, actress and Emmy-winning writer-producer (“The Rosie O’Donnell Show”) weighs in on serious topics including free speech, censorship and cyberbullying, while paying tribute to her Jewish (and other) comedy heroes by telling some of their best jokes — and her own.
Lilith: In your book you talked a lot about comedy as a force for action, change and education. Do you see that with the current climate?
Judy Gold: Absolutely. Great comedy makes you think. But it can also sort of change your mind, change your opinion about things. Especially when you see someone who is the polar opposite of you, onstage, making you laugh.
