Thought-provoking, Relevant, Intelligent, Hilarious, Absorbing

See it if You like standup comedy with an edge & historical context & if you’d like to see a small show with inventive design and technology.

Don't see it if Political jabs, same-sex and/or female empowering stories are not for you. Although, you’d learn & benefit from hearing her stories.

Cliched, Rote, Thought-provoking, Funny, Relevant

See it if You enjoy Judy Gold (and/or Jewish comedians), and are especially miffed at cancel culture as it relates to comedy.

Don't see it if You’re looking for pure stand-up comedy. This is more of a humorous think piece, though it’s definitely preaching to the choir.

The New York Times
April 3rd, 2023

"...'Yes, I Can Say That!' is a deliberately uncomfortable, laugh-packed show seeded with stealth missiles"

Time Out New York
April 10th, 2023

"4/5 Stars! "An uproarious success...More successful as a personal narrative than as a polemic. Gold's tributes to pioneering ladies like Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller and Totie Fields are moving and amusing, and her own tale of coming out while she was coming up is a testament to the importance of speaking one's truth, particularly for comedians."

“This is an excellent example of how a stand-up's act can be expanded and enhanced for the stage. I hope more comics get this opportunity, mostly for the sake of off-Broadway. Something needs to shake the theater out of its fearful holding pattern, and we might as well be laughing when it happens.”

“Call it entertainment, or call it an unabashed tirade. Loud and brassy comic Judy Gold has more than chuckles on her mind as she brings her solo show ‘Yes, I Can Say That!’ to 59E59 Theaters”

New York Stage Review
March 21st, 2023

“ ‘Yes, I Can Say That!,’...based on Gold’s 2020 book of the same name, has its rough spots. But overall, it proves enlightening, informative and, most important of all, funny.”

Front Row Center

“This show is personal, as Gold lays herself open to attack.  And that’s the whole point– we have a choice:  to stifle ourselves or to choose to take a risk.  There is no freedom in silence.”

“Don’t worry, though, the show is far from a downer. Gold also lovingly pays tribute to the many comedians who work at this craft despite their physical disabilities, and she honors the women who blazed the path for all female comedians”
