REUBEN KAYE: LIVE

Ep. 19

SPECIAL LIVE RECORDING WITH REUBEN KAYE!


Today we have an exciting episode – a recording of the sold-out Live Show I did recently with comedy, camp, cabaret superstar Reuben Kaye! This episode is unlike others. It was recorded in front of a live audience, with a man under the age of 40 and it totally went off the rails. It was a special for IDAHOBIT day – the international day against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. And it’s bloody fabulous!


Reuben and I talk about his early dating days, his experiences at school as a boy ahead of his time (that bit will make you cry). We talked some of his sexual preferences, his sexcapades and he poked at fun at me, whilst I laughed at him. (I told him off once or twice too). Reuben is just wonderful. He was hilarious – side-splittingly so – but also raw and vulnerable. I am pretty sure he went places he doesn’t usually go in interviews and man; we were the beneficiaries.


A trigger warning: it’s probably the best part of the episode but we do get into intergenerational trauma and there’s some discussion of suicide.


And Bonus – writer, creator and singer of the Dear Nelly theme song, Casey Bennetto sings the theme song live.


ENJOY!

  • 91. Jacinta Parsons: I'd been to paradise but I'd never been to me!

    01:12:37||Ep. 91
    Jacinta Parsons: I'd been to paradise but I'd never been to me!Author and ABC personality Jacinta Parsons came out of a very long-term relationship a few years ago and swore off dating. Then she met a bloke in an airport lounge and now they're loving each other sick, mate! Jacinta's dating story is like a rom-com that wrote itself. We talk about this, her INCREDIBLE NEW BOOK and, we take a brilliant listener call about being taken advantage of (to put it mildly) in an awful se*ual liason. Some if it is hard stuff, but so moving and relevant. I know you will love this episode - it has lots of laughs and tears. Just like we like it around here.JACINTA'S WEBSITE HEREA WISDOM OF AGE, BY JACINTA PARSONS HERE DEARNELLYPODCAST.COM: HERESUBSCRIBE TO DEAR NELLY PLUS VIA PATREON HERESEND NELLY A MESSAGE: HERE 1800RESPECT is A Confidential information, counselling and support service that is available for free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support people impacted by domestic, family or sexual violence: CLICK HERE13YARN24-hour national crisis support line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Call 13 92 76 or visit www.13yarn.org.au Nelly's website HEREFahey's website HERE Love yas,Nelly xxx
