Maggie Scudder Oct 22, 2022

GOLD COMEDY LIVE in NYC

History’s best sleepover + bachelorette party gone wrong + your least favorite aunt’s open-casket funeral.

In other words, the vibes are immaculate.


Standup Comics

Elsa Eli Waithe a comedian and activist, is GOLD’s founding standup instructor. Their credits include BET, MTV, Frank, The Tribeca Film Festival, The Cinder Block Comedy Festival, and This American Life. They are co-founder of the educational sticker campaign Slavers of NY.

Jes Tom (they/them) is a stand-up comic, writer, and actor gleefully providing the trans, queer, Asian American, radical cyborg perspective that everyone never knew they wanted. Currently, they are a story editor on season two of the Taika Waititi series OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH, for HBO Max. They can be seen in the Hulu Feature CRUSH, HBO Max’s LOVE LIFE, and on their own digital series DEAR JES, for Netflix’s The Most. Their writing has been published by Reductress, Shondaland, and Condé Nast’s Them, and they wrote for the Audible/Broadway Video series HOT WHITE HEIST, produced by Alan Cumming. Jes has been featured in The New York Times, Vice, Ozy, Forbes, NowThis, Vulture’s Comedians You Should and Will Know in 2021, and were selected as a New Face at the 2021 Just For Laughs Festival.
