Review: Dana Goldberg RELAX... I'M JUST JOKING at The Green Room 42 Bonds Diverse Audience Through Belly Laughs
There was a time when advertising a show for a lesbian stand-up comic meant that the audience would be made up, entirely, of lesbians, there not only to laugh but to revel in representation. That was important, then, and it's important now: representation is vital for our society.
Every person should feel that they are seen, that they are acknowledged, that they are appreciated, and much of the time that begins with representation. The times have changed, though, and when an out and proud lesbian comic is booked into a nightclub, there is every chance that her audience will be a wide cross-section of humanity, which is a gorgeous thing to witness in today's world because it is visible proof of how far we've come, and of the possibility of going farther.
And it was a gorgeous crowd at The Green Room 42 on February 9th, when Dana Goldberg played a comedy set for a room full of diverse demographics, all of whom had at least one thing in common: laughter. Lots and lots of laughter.

Comedian Dana Goldberg Isn't Holding Anything Back — Guess what happens when this Jewish lesbian walks into a bar?
Lesbian comedian Dana Goldberg knows she's pissing people off. She just doesn't care. "If I'm making everyone happy in the world, I don't think I'm doing my job," she argues. On the other hand, Goldberg also believes it's her job "to bring people joy, but it's also to help people be seen when they don't feel like they're being seen."
Goldberg, who started in comedy in Albuquerque, N.M., 15 years ago, has seen her star rise each year since. Today, her social media following continues to grow (thanks, in part, to her role in the resistance against the current administration). A weekly guest on The Stephanie Miller Show on SiriusXM, Goldberg hosts her own web series, Out in Left Field With Dana Goldberg on Advocate.com, and has performed in 40 states and eight countries.
As emcee at events for GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, and the Trevor Project, this out lesbian comedian has emerged as the go-to resistance comic, good for when the queer community wants to fight for our humanity -- and laugh at ourselves in the process.
