COMEDY---
Southern audiences love her,
Tenuta says, “because these people
want to be spanked with a Bible
belt, and because of my religion,
Judy-ism, I shake them up.”
She considers herself “a living
saint,” she says. “Even though I
came from a large Catholic family, I
was always the isolated petite
flower. I always heard voices, and
the saints talked to me. When I was
little, 1 was kind of forced to play
the accordion. At the same time I
had six brothers so I had to practice
in the closet while they watched the
Bears game. I learned to play ‘Lady
of Spain’ in the dark.”
Each comic has his or her own
material. Richard Belzer, a success-
ful comedian now living in Beverly
Hills, says his allergies are igno-
rance and Ronald Reagan, his
favorite performer is Pinky Lee, his
personal heroes are Moyshe Dayan
and Miles Davis. His most irrational
act, he says, was registering to vote.
His most irrational fear: the reunifi-
cation of Germany.
