Kay Ray is an entertainer with heart and experience. Do you know the feeling of taking off shoes that are actually too tight? You feel free.
Experience an evening that takes off your tight shoes right from the start. Kay Ray sings everything from Milva to Kate Bush, from Reinhard Mey to Rammstein. No can do, no can do.
"I'm not interested in what happens outside. If the world ends today, it ends without me," sang Ina Deter back in the 90s. Comedy without attitude. Just for fun. An evening of music and lyrics. And: NO! We won't save the world by renaming a sauce.
It's humor that gives us answers in the daily madness that help us much further than the hyper-double-moralistic guardians of virtue everywhere. "What unites the mean climate sticker with the even meaner parliamentarian? The sticking! The climate glue sticks to the street - the parliamentarian sticks to his post. Perhaps such long-term members of the German Bundestag should be renamed "those who have been stuck here for a long time".
Kay Ray sings songs about everyone and makes jokes about everyone. Because where the fun ends, not the seriousness begins, but the misery. He who forbids laughter, forbids us life. The Kay Ray Show. A funny, musical and hard-hitting reckoning with the zeitgeist.
At home on all stages for 30 years. With over 100 shows a year, he tours all over Germany, including Switzerland and Italy.
Winner of the Lorscher Abts - 2019
Winner of the Bremen Comedy Prize (jury prize) - 2019
Chris Tal thanked Kay Ray at the Bambi award ceremony in November 2019. He owed
his breakthrough with Stefan Raab to an attitude and a joke that was significantly shaped by Kay Ray
and brought to the stage in the spirit of Chris Tal. "Can he do that?" would not have been possible without Kay
Ray's inspiration
Torsten Sträter on Kay Ray: "You are Kay Ray and that's a lot. You are a total work of art,
a one-man circus. You are the grim reaper of humor..."
Arnulf Rating: " Kay Ray - someone who stands up for his truth with everything he has. He takes every risk
he takes. And in doing so, he is a sparking, cheerful grenade with high explosive power. You have to
must be experienced live! Go and see it!"
Ingmar Stadelmann in an interview in October 19: "If there's one thing that annoys me about the German comedy
comedy landscape, it's that, for example, a comedian like Kay Ray, after more than 20 years on stage and
stage and genius still doesn't get any decent attention in the television landscape
or even his own show. That seems absurd to me. But who am I anyway?"
