No one is going to tell my guest, Emmy-winning comedian Judy Gold, what she can and cannot say. Her bestselling book, “Yes, I Can Say That: When They Come for the Comedians, We Are All in Trouble,” is required reading for anyone who’s a fan of or is considering a career in standup. Judy is not only a gifted writer and an unfiltered performer, but she also holds encyclopedic knowledge about the craft of making people laugh. Listen as we talk about the importance of intent in joke-telling, the balance between acknowledging one’s own experiences and those of an audience, and the aggravation and joy that comes with being die-hard sports moms.
