Want a night out filled with laughter, showtunes and politics?
Rueben Kaye: APOCALIPSTIK has entered the chat.
Now, Sarria has seen Reuben before, and told Amanda nothing. Amanda has trouble laughing with stand-up comics. Not tonight, though.
This show is stunning.
The Melbourne born’s costumes were part fantastic disco, part ethereal, part bad-ass. We were both in awe as Reuben stepped up to a descending disco ball, casting light fragments across the room whilst draped in gauzy fabric. It wouldn’t have looked amiss in a fashion magazine.
Fashion was just one of the topics Reuben had a lot to say about. We mentioned he’s political in his set, and the ability of addressing hard issues, keeping it funny but also dark enough to hit home is one hell of a skill.
The story-driven delights we encountered are inspired by his… intriguing family history.
Reuben did mention if anyone knows a Netflix producer to hit him up. We’d watch that show.

Sarria was enchanted by the silhouette mentioned above with the gauzy fabric that Reuben created during his only low energy song.
And his voice! Boy can he SING!
Amanda’s favourite was something very very special. It might not be in every show.
Reuben sat, thanking the crowd for attending. It was vulnerable, personal and open, almost sounding as if he were on the verge of tears.
People can forget that performers, especially comedians, are far more vulnerable than you realise. They feel, and they feel hard.
Reuben was the epitome of that quality.
This was quintessentially everything that Fringe, in our eyes, represents. Topical, personable, digestible, entertaining and from a different perspective.
