HOLLYWOOD—Judy Tenuta’s stand-up routine is appropriately described as outrageous, mind-blowing comedy. She recently became an ordained minister, and converts her audiences to her signature religion, “Judyism.” A strong advocate for the gay community, children and women’s issues, the fun-loving feminist preaches that all women should be worshipped as “Love Goddesses!”
Some of Judy’s roles include: An ex-showgirl turned wedding chaplain on ABC’s “General Hospital,” a snobby judge on “Corey in the House” and a featured role in the teen comedy hit “Material Girls,” starring Hillary and Haley Duff, and directed by Martha Coolidge. Judy also produced and starred in “Desperation Boulevard,” which was about a former child star who stops at nothing to make a comeback. Judy will soon appear in the Indie film, “Sister Mary” with Bruce Vilanch. So, watch out, Meryl Streep. For further information on her career go to judytenuta.com.
WHAT/WHO: Judy Tenuta is one of the most famous person who ever lived, and if you don’t believe it, just ask her. Judy is a triple threat in the sense that she has strong stage, television, comedy and film credits with a large fan base. She has appeared in “The Vagina Monologues,” “Menopause the Musical,” both in L.A. and Chicago, and she’s had her own stand-up specials on Showtime, HBO and Lifetime. Judy was the first female stand-up comic to win Best Female Comedian at the American Comedy Awards and is a two-time Grammy nominee for her comedy CD’s, “Attention Butt-Pirates and “Lesbetarians!” and “In Goddess We Trust.” That same year, she became the national spokesperson for a series of Diet Dr. Pepper commercials. The self-described “Love Goddess” and “Aphrodite of The Accordion” has made hundreds of guest and co-hosting appearances on such popular TV shows as “The View,” “Late Night with David Letterman,” “Larry King Live,” “Entertainment Tonight” and “Comics Unleashed.”
