Everyone’s favourite cabaret star Reuben Kaye, answers some candid everyday questions …
The best accessory I ever bought was …
A twink with an asshole so flexible he could also double as carry-on luggage.
The state of my hair right now is …
Wishing it was being pulled by an AFL player in a Premier Inn.
The state of my heart right now is …
Medium rare.
The state of my makeup table right now is …
Have you seen photos of Dresden after the war? That but with rouge.
My best friend is …
The spotlight. (That’s meant to be a joke because I should say Shanon Whitelock my musical Director and collaborator but even he would agree I’m a rampant egomaniac).
The most famous person I’ve met is …
Annie Lennox, I think … I was the bartender for her wedding reception in London. In that same week I performed for Liz Hurley and The Beckhams and was living in a bus in Stepney Way that had no running electricity.
I’m the best singer in the world when …
I sing in front of someone who hasn’t heard anyone else sing, ever.
My best on-set stuff up was when …
In Melbourne while in the middle of a ballad, a possum fell out of the roof. Yeah… looking back on it I’ve really played some shitholes.
The best thing about performing cabaret is …
Not being told what to do.
The worst thing about performing cabaret is …
Everyone thinking cabaret is something that it’s not. Cabaret has no real definition because it’s the artist that makes their own work and their own definition. Stop trying to define it and just enjoy it!
The best sex of my life is yet to come because …
So am I.
You know you are in love when …
The Rabbit is boiled and tender.
Straight men are …
The base of my food pyramid.
If you want to make my blood boil, start talking about …
Other comedians who have Netflix Specials.
I feel sad when …
I see other comedians who have Netflix specials.
The song that makes me smile and want to dance is …
Slut Pop by Kim Petras. It’s on repeat in my head right now, but the all-time classic for me is Barracuda by Heart.
My death row last meal would be …
Something that takes a very long time to prepare. Possibly years. And if possible if it could include a file, a disguise, and half the Argentinian Men’s Water Polo Team.
The song I want played at my funeral is …
I won’t have a funeral. I want a private cremation and then for my ashes to be thrown in the faces of people I hate.
