Spoken Word: Episode 28: Julie Peters Cabaret – Mutton is the New Lamb – a Trans de-mythology

James interviews Julie Peters, writer, cabaret performer and academic about their upcoming show at the Butterfly Club, Mutton is the New Lamb-a trans de-mythology.

James and Julie discuss sexuality, orientation, personal history, religion, academia, writing and so much more. An engaging interview about a very engaging and empowering performer, discussing their work and their new show opening on the 18th of September.

Is she still around? … still not acting her age and dressing inappropriately?

Julie Peters (ex-ABC & Port Melbourne resident) goes through her photo archive and wardrobe, sings, and chats with people she met and never did – Macbeth’s witches, her younger self, teachers, colleagues, movie stars, heroines, cowboys, fairies, friends and bullies – to wonder why we have gender, trans, football, religion, discrimination and the sausage sizzle.

Or is Julie just annoyed that not enough people have read her PhD dissertation and so has tried to summarize it as standup sociology to make it more approachable?
