'A comedy star!' (Times). Fast, on the edge and brutally funny. Australia's favourite comedian Reuben Kaye is back to tear the world apart and put it back together. 'An icon!' ***** (EdFestMag.com). 'Hilarious' ***** (Advertiser, Adelaide). Backed by a full band, this show is guaranteed to have you on your feet screaming or bent over in hysterics. Kaye is utterly unforgettable and not to be missed! 'Colossally Fabulous!' (Scotsman). 'The stand out performance of the Fringe!' ***** (ThisIsRadelaide.com.au). 'Obscenely intelligent, beautifully filthy and rib-crackingly funny' ***** (AussieTheatre.com.au).

Reuben Kaye: 'Anyone who thinks the arts aren't hard work needs to wake up'

Taking two shows to this year's Edinburgh Festival, outrageous cabaret star Reuben Kaye tells Fergus Morgan about the moments that have made up his theatre career - from losing a tooth on stage to making a four-wheeled entrance using an unlikely source of propulsion.

Australians at Edinburgh Fringe 2022

The 75th Edinburgh Fringe Festival begins this week and, after a bit of an enforced break, there will be a strong contingent of Australian acts (as well as Aussie Expats and adopted Aussies) back in Auld Reeky town raring to tread the boards again. Here is a list of those we could find along with any reviews we have previously written.

Reuben Kaye interview

They call me the Ferrari of Drag mainly because I'm shiny, expensive and on a good day I can fit four Italians inside me.
