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 awardwinning comedian Judy Gold, an equal parts thoughtful and hilarious polemic on the current efforts to censor comedians, arguing that they undermine the artand purposeof comedy itself.You can say anything that comes to mind as long as it is funny. Richard PryorThe 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 trendto 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. It's the best medicine. It's also the most palatable way to bring up seditious, subversive topics. For Gold, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokesthe job of a comedian is to expose society's demons, and confront them headon, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics, sheframes comedy as a tool of empowerment, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracycrushing 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.
