This year the Sex Worker Festival is proud to open with filmmaker
and performer Gina Gold in 'Sex Worker Diaries,' in conjunction
with her long running East Bay series TMI Storytelling. (Additional
storytellers will be announced soon!)
The Festival will also screen two of Gina's great comedic shorts
at that event. Gina Gold's 'Lap Dance Blues' is one of the classic
sex worker made shorts of all time. 'Stripper Damage' was voted
the best short of the 2013 Sex Worker Festival.
About Gina Gold
Gina Gold is a humorist, filmmaker and stage artist. She grew
up in a New York neighborhood thinking “oy vey”
was something all black people said. Inspired by comedians like
Carol Burnett and Lewis CK, Gina boldly pokes fun at her own
idiosyncrasies as a Jewish African-American Bay Area native
who is really from Queens.
At the age of thirteen Gina attended The American Academy Of
Dramatic Arts and later wrote her own one woman shows before
venturing into filmmaking. She launched her own show on a New
York cable access channel. Calling it “The Gina Gold Show,”
she filled the airtime with comedic, sometimes surreal, Saturday
Night Live-style sketches and short films.
Gina Gold was featured in Hima B.'s Straight for the Money which
screened widely internationally. Gina entertained a national
audience as she toured the US with the Sex Worker Art Show Tour.
After telling a story called Hands Up on NPR’s radio show
Snap Judgment, Gina fell in love with storytelling and started
her own series called TMI (Too Much Information ) which she
currently produces. TMI features a rotating cast of storytellers
giving an unadulterated, often hardcore look at life. She is
also on tour in a show called You’re Funny But You Don’t
Look Jewish, a touring stand up comedy show with some very funny
African American, Indian, Italian American and Vietnamese Jewish
comedians.Also visit The Gina Gold Show http://theginagoldshow.com/
