Character comedienne, Jude Bowler's enticing and touchingly twisted, droll homage to Marlene.

Nobody's muse, everybody’s icon, a modern day Dietrich
- bored and mad as ever.

Written and performed by Jude Bowler “Stage Fright ein Kabarett” is an hour-long cabaret, best suited to intimate spaces, with cabaret/theatre seating.

10-12 songs in two Acts, with two Marlene Dietrich “looks”: 

Act 1  Tuxedo Trad
Intermission
Act 2  Blonde Venus

Performed entirely to backing tracks, or with a piano/keyboard accompanist. Often also with a local support artist/guest musician warm-up act, who returns in Act 1 for one song. Expect mash‑ups of Marlene originals + tunes from more modern muses, such as Lou Reed, Grace Jones, Rod Stewart and a pinch of Prince. 

*Not suitable for audiences <16yrs old.
