Reuben Kaye: Live and Intimidating

Reuben Kaye and his band are back with the UK debut of his award-nominated show Live and Intimidating! The obscenely intelligent, rib-crackingly funny Reuben Kaye returns to the Edinburgh Fringe in an explosion of high camp and filthy humour. With musical direction by Shanon Whitelock and original compositions, this Swarovski-studded revolt is what happens when you tell your children they can be anything. 'A star in their own right, with razor-sharp comedic material, a glamorous look and killer voice to boot' ***** (Skinny). ***** (Time Out). ***** (Chortle.co.uk).

The must-see show of the Fringe 2024, an artist who stands out.

I love Reuben so much, but this show didn't hit the mark I'm afraid. While it's important to raise the issue of homophobia, an entire hour of nothing else felt more like a TedTalk than a Cabaret. The fun, lightheartedness of his past performances was missing.And you could tell the audience was quite bummed out during and after the show. He confused AUS geography and names, and it all felt a bit rocky and unpolished, which is a bit of a downer, given that this show was running for a while in Australia.
