"Petite
flower, earth mother goddess, geisha girl, healer of hermaphrodites,
and empress of Elvis impersonators" are all words this gum-spitting,
male-bashing, and undeniably brilliant comedienne uses to describe
herself. Ms. Judy Tenuta's comic stylings border on performance art; she
never appears out of character when being interviewed. Tenuta's stage
persona is as colorful as the garb she wears on stage (Goddess outfits)
while attacking audience members in a fun and feminist fashion. Those
two words could end up in the same sentence together? Who knew? During
her act, Judy Tenuta can be seen mesmerizing the audience with her
accordion and singing wacky songs while attempting to convert all to a
religion of her own persuasion: "Judyism." She collects canned goods
from the audience, as "offerings for the Goddess," and demands nothing
less from her devotees/pigs/stud puppets than complete adoration. Her
voice (one of her more notable features, if you make it past the prom
dresses) is even comedic as she exaggerates her inflections ranging from
sweet-sing-songy-sappy to sounding like a big brass band right outside
your window at six a.m. This may be what accounts for such a clear-cut
line between Judy Tenuta fans and non-fans. "Ya either love her or ya
hate her." ~MTV
Here's a shocker - Judy was married to Emo Philips...
