It’s been three years since Jude Perl made her debut at the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival with Is It Just Me? That and her subsequent show, Part
Of This Complete Breakfast both won Green Room Awards in cabaret for
Best Original Songs. Last week Perl won her third Green Room Award for Best
Original Songs for her current comedy festival show, Let’s Hang Out, and it’s not
hard to see why.
The Texan born, Australian raised performer builds a great rapport with the
audience with her laid-back nature and self-deprecating humour. Throughout the
show Perl considers the various relationships she’s had over the years and how
they have shaped her into the person she is today, from her mother, to her
friends and partners. Perl extends this to include her
relationship with herself, which includes one brilliant song that is performed
from the perspective of her stomach.
