Q&A
Tell us about your new single/ album/ tour?
Iām performing my first full length comedy show in this yearās Melbourne International Comedy Festival at the Butterfly Club (April 7th – 19th) itās a mixture of music comedy and stand up. I do also have an album coming out later this year. The comedy festival show is really different to the album (only one song appears in both the album and the show), however the show does give some background information about my experience in LA recording the album
How would you describe your sound in food form and why?
Crunchy on the outside, caramel-ey on the inside, coconut-ey on the upside, and citrus-ey on the lop-side (SOUNDS DELICIOUS?!)
Which song resonates most strongly and why
One of the songs on my new album is about the character āYettaā from the TV show āThe Nannyā, and Yetta is my hero, and anyone who doesnāt think sheās great I donāt think I can be friends with, or maybe I could, but it will be a shallow friendship of emptiness and lies
Any on the road anecdotes?
I was in New York filming a video and we went to FAO Schwartz (famous toy store from the film āBigā) and I got a custom made muppet for the video and I think that might have been the greatest day of my life. That wasnāt really an anecdote but Iām gonna go with it anywayā¦
Where do you draw inspiration from?
I get inspiration from things in life that make me go āumā¦. did that really just happen?”
What’s next for you?
As I mentioned before I have an album coming out later this year, so more videos and touring when thatās released. I think I will also eat a sandwich soon, because I love sandwiches
What’s your scene?
The Astor Theatre on chapel st. Old cinema with copious amounts of atmosphere playing classic films (Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Kubrick, etc) and me with a honeycomb choc top spilt on my Tshirt because thatās just how I roll.

āJude Perl, a tiny package with a big voice and impressive stage presenceā ā Weekend Note
“Perl manages to draw the complete attention of her audience from her opening phrase. There is a narrative sureness in her voice to match its timbral warmth. Like Ute Lemper, Perl has the kind of instrument that inspires lyricists not to slack off, to invest more in their songsā – The Australian
āWhen it comes to crafting the catchiest of pop tunes, this Melbourne musician hits the nail on the head.ā ā The Ripe
āPerl has been making a name for herself around Melbourne through her remarkable vocal abilities, her original songs and with her own brand of musical comedyā ā Beat Magazine
