Award winning comedian Judy Gold hates one-person shows, that's why she's doing her second one: 'Judy Gold is Mommy Queerest!' The star of the critically acclaimed, '25 Questions for a Jewish Mother' has a lot to say about being the mother of 2 boys and an out lesbian comic. There is no stone unturned - her mother, anti-depressants, nursing homes, parenting, gay marriage,, and of course what she truly thinks about her kids - they are annoying, expensive, and they better pluck out her chin hairs when she's in the Hebrew Home for the Aged.
