If you don't laugh, you'll cry! Using humour to overcome trauma - Uncut with Reuben Kaye
Description
Hey Lifers!
Britt is the peacock of all peacocks and ready for the arrival of her international lover!
We unpack some ageism that Ryan Gosling is experiencing for his role of "Ken" in the new barbie movie; a type of scrutiny that women have been put under for a long time but seems quite new for the 'hot' men in Hollywood.
Then we are joined by multi-award winning Australian comedian and cabaret sensation Reuben Kaye!
Reuben is the child of Russian peasants and German refugees. His grandparents survived the holocaust. In this chat Reuben speaks candidly about how we tend to use dark humour to cope with bad things that happen in our life.
WE COVER:
- His incredible family story
- Using humour to deal with trauma
- Performing in drag
- Subject v object in comedy & making sure his audience know they're in a safe space
- When a joke backfires
