Reuben Kaye
Australian Reuben Kaye's own brand of melodramatic showmanship has wowed audiences and critics around the globe. Feted as "THE QUINTESSENTIAL CABARET PERFORMER" (Herald Sun), Kaye’s delivery is flawless as he seamlessly blends lavish storytelling into gilded song, incorporating an impressive repertoire ranging from Kurt Weill to Kate Bush, and punctuating his monologue with rich cultural critique. After appearances on Channel 4 and on BBC’s You’re Fired, the multi-award winning comedian, singer and self proclaimed part-time hood ornament Reuben Kaye is the danger man to watch. With an acid wit and casual sensationalism that is simply delicious, Kaye is fast, on the edge and brutally funny. Reuben brings a much needed hysterically funny, Swarovski-studded revolt against the ever narrowing views of an increasingly conservative world. Reuben has enjoyed residencies at London's historic Savoy Hotel, The Rosewood Hotel and at London's West End home of cabaret, the famous Cafe de Paris, as well as continuing to perform at The Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Melbourne Comedy Festival, Adelaide & Perth Fringe Festivals while still travelling to perform in Berlin's Wintergarten, Tipi Am Kanzleramt, Ohh La La Cherie in Zurich, Cabaret Lune Noir in Bern, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Hamburg State Opera, the Royal Albert Hall in London, The Savoy Theatre in Helsinki, and the famous Södra Theatre in Stockholm, to name a few. Reuben Kaye is what happens when you tell your children they can be anything.
