MICF: Reuben Kaye, Plugged!

Reuben Kaye, self-defined cabaret megastar, graces the Butterfly Club’s ‘upstairs basement’ with tender recollections of his creative and spiritual edification, from angsty adolescent to ‘gay superhero’ in Plugged!

Reuben Kaye

Kaye’s delivery is flawless as he seamlessly blends lavish storytelling into gilded song, incorporating an impressive repertoire that ranges from Kurt Weill to Kate Bush and regularly punctuating his monologue with rich cultural critique.

With an acid wit and casual sensationalism that is simply delicious, Kaye is a dazzling phantasm of anachronistic showbiz – an explosion of sequins, lashes and teeth.
