Remembering the sitcoms of her childhood, Jewish stand-up comedian Judy Gold is going to perform a new stand-up comedy show called “The Judy Show: My Life as a Sitcom,” on Thursday, July 7, at the DR2 Theatre, New York. Performances are Mondays at 8 p.m., Tuesdays at 7 p.m., and Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. Also, there are Saturday matinees at 2 p.m.
The whole idea of this stand-up comedy show came from Judy Gold’s obsession for the American culture. Being a Jewish and lesbian mother of two, stand-up comedian always felt as an outsider. Growing up in New Jersey with sitcoms like “The Brady Bunch,” “Good Times,” “The Jeffersons” and “One Day at a Time”, that was how the Jewish stand-up comedian Judy Gold imagined life outside her home.
Stand-up comedian Judy Gold has always wanted a sitcom of her own, but the networks were not interested in her situation of declared Jewish lesbian and mother of two children.
