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!

43:42||Ep. 78TOXIC PEOPLE THRIVE IN SILENCEIn this ep, Nelly drops in to ponder how toxic people rely on silence and how liberating it is when you find your voice. She also muses on how egocentric we are when it comes to divorce, dating and all the things. She invites you to WWRPD - what would Ru Paul do - and ask yourself how important your current situation is in the Grander Scheme of Things. So you got divorced - sure it's huge, it's also nothing in the Big Picture view of human history and even, of your life. You can put the shame, worry and fear down. She also take wonderful call from a woman who was sitting right in the shit and is out the other side with a full bush and a new lease on her (sex)life.
