Welcome back Reuben, we have missed you. Now the Fringe can really begin!!!

Reuben Kaye returns to Adelaide with his new show Reuben Kaye – Apocalipstik, an eighty minute show giving us a sneak peek into his childhood, his parents, grandparents and queer uncle.

Strutting the stage like a regal peacock, dressed in a black jumpsuit, a black cape, heels,  and a mike with a long black horse’s tail he works the audience with his queer humour, bawdy jokes, and sexual references aplenty.  But behind the makeup, lipstick and luscious lashes lies cutting satire and an incredible intellect.

Kaye is mercurial. He can change the entire  mood of the audience with a single look or word. One minute we are laughing, and the next the atmosphere is silent as Reuban delves deep and invites us to consider some of the more serious problems of the world.

Kaye’s four-piece band punch out his songs, with tunes we all know, but changed lyrics. To complete the theatre experience he also uses an Auslan translator at the side of the stage who endeavours to try and keep up with his ad libs.

Reuben Kaye – Apocalipstik is eighty minutes of hilarity, fun, and most of all a chance to be in the presence of a Master of his art. It is an unforgettable experience!
