    Bobby Fox has been described as annoyingly talented. He's a very proud Irishman who moved to Australia in the early 00's and has since carved an incredible career for himself here in Australia. He's been on your TV screen, you've seen him on stage, but you would probably remember him best for originating the role as Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys the musical. Please enjoy this interview with Green Room and Helpmann Award nominee the fantastic Mr Bobby Fox.
  • 6. Paul and Chain

    54:27
    Paul Capsis is an Australian icon and one of a kind. From day 1 he was told he would never work in the industry; a gay man of Greek and Maltese heritage which in the 80's in Australia meant he was largely uncastable. That didn't stop Paul and thank goodness it didn't. Cut to headlining some of the world's most prestigious arts festivals, feature roles on screen and treading the boards for the likes of the Sydney Theatre Company and the Victorian Opera. His message? Never give up! Talking everything from his fascinating obsession and synchronicity with Janis Joplin, to how he shaped his career. Please enjoy this interview with multiple Helpmann Award winner, Paul Capsis.

  • 3. The Kaye-Man Island

    47:36
    My guest on today’s episode of The Catheteria is someone who's been described as the evil love child of Liza Minelli and Jim Carey. The London Times describes him as a new comedy star. Reuben Kaye is what happens when you tell your child they can be anything they want. I recently caught up with Reuben at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and he gave insight into how hard life on stage really can be as well as the drive needed to stay in the spotlight. An eye opener of an interview.... but also endearing. I think by the end of this you will love Reuben Kaye as much as I do.If you'd like to know more about Reuben or want to get in touch head to https://www.reubenkaye.com/
