Publisher Description "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 SchumerFrom 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. "You can say anything that comes to mind as long as it is funny." — Richard Pryor The fallout after Michelle Wolfs roast at the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner, Samantha Bees forced apology after calling Ivanka Trump a "feckless c*nt," Kathy Griffins being "blacklisted" from Hollywood after posting a photo with what looked like the presidents severed head, all represent a dangerous and growing trend—to censor comedians. In Yes I Can Say That, comedy veteran Judy Gold argues that "no one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about.... Laughter is a unifier. Its the best medicine. Its also the most palatable way to bring up seditious, subversive topics." For Gold, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokes—the job of a comedian is to expose societys demons, and confront them head-on, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics, she frames comedy as a tool of empowerment, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracy-crushing plight of censorship. Uninhibited and bold, Gold is as skilled at making readers laugh as she is at exposing uncomfortable truths about our culture and society. In this era of partisan politics and gaping inequalities, Yes I Can Say That is the refreshingly candid, wickedly funny and deliciously blunt manifesto we need.
