"Judy Gold was performing at the New York Comedy Club when a vile audience member shouted 'You're a Jew' as a slur. Gold, who has been performing stand-up for over 40 years, says she has encountered plenty of annoying audience members, but nothing like this."
"Gold is grateful to the comedy club for swiftly ejecting the loudmouth. However, the following night, she had another unsavory experience at a Manhattan club where a patron made a comment about Jews being cheap."
"Gold said she's 'shocked' by 'how brazen' racists have become, remembering that the last time she heard anything like that was decades ago. 'The last time it happened was 30 plus years ago in Marietta, Georgia.'"
Judy Gold, a veteran comedian, expressed shock at the rise of antisemitism in New York comedy clubs. During two recent performances, she faced hecklers making antisemitic remarks. At one club, a patron shouted a slur, disrupting her act. Gold, who has over 40 years of experience, found this level of hate unprecedented. Another incident involved a comment about Jews being cheap, which went unaddressed by club staff. Gold noted that such blatant racism had not been encountered in decades, highlighting a troubling trend in the comedy scene.
