Judy Gold on Howie's Late Night Rush

It's the Judy Shoooowwwww!!! Oh an it has been what? Five overs since Judy performed up here in Tahoe? The Emmy Award winning comedinne/actress/writer/author/producer just completed a long term engagement of her critically acclaimed, Off Broadway hit show, "25 Questions for a Jewish Mother." The show was nominated for a 2006 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance and won the 2007 GLAAD award for Outstanding New York Theater. The New York Times called this one-woman show fiercely funny, honest and moving and Time Out declared the show a genuine mitzvah. Wow. So thats why she hasnt been here in a while. Judy (along with Kate Moira Ryan) wrote this humorous & poignant portrait of what makes a Jewish mother..well, a Jewish mother. The show was based on interviews completed with over 50 Jewish women of different ages, ethnicities, occupations and tells each womans individual story of marriage, motherhood, faith, hope, love, laughter and acceptance. The show went from Off Broadway to the road in 2007 and there was even a book based on the show (Which I bought after her performance in San Francisco). In that same year the show won the prestigious Quill Award. Co-written with Kate Moira Ryan the book, 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother Judy Gold has accomplished quite a bit both on stage and on the written page. When not busy with her stage work Judy still finds time to make television appearances as well such as co-hosting ABCs The View and also HBOs At the Multiplex with Judy Gold. She also hosted the GLAAD Media Awards (which aired on LOGO and VH1). Theres more? Oh yeah. Some of her most recent TV specials include a half-hour comedy special for LOGO and the HBO documentary, All Aboard. Her stand-up specials include Comedy Central Presents: Judy Gold, Comedy Centrals Tough Crowd Stands Up, and Judys HBO half-hour special, which received a Cable Ace Award. Gold was most recently seen in the smash hit film The Aristocrats. Gold won two Emmy Awards for writing and producing The Rosie ODonnell Show. She was nominated twice for The American Comedy Awards funniest female stand-up and has appeared on Law & Order, Law & Order SVU, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Conan O'Brien Show to name a few. Gold lives in New York City with her two children. Her CD, Judiths Roommate Had a Baby is currently available for sale after the shows. Check out www.JudyGold.com .
