"I laughed, I shoulder-danced, and I think at some point along the way I got sucked into an MLM. At no point could I predict what would happen next, but I trusted Aunty Jude to take me on a delightful journey, and that she did"

INTRODUCING
AUNTY JUDE

"From the moment she strode on stage swathed in red sequins and glittering headdress, she had the audience in thrall"
