Reuben Kaye, the new Artistic Director of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, has chosen the theme of Delicious Revolution for his inaugural program. (Read our interview with him on page 65.) Speaking to Limelight, he says, “From Aussie icons and international acts of immense fame to basement-dwelling unknowns . . . this is a festival of risks, leaps of faith, huge laughs and bigger heart.” Kaye will host the opening Variety Gala, front a series of free talks and unleash a solo show. He will also join the cast of the recent Australian tour of Jesus Christ Superstar for a night of song and backstage gossip in What’s The Buzz?. Other artists in the festival include Mahalia Barnes, Alfie Boe, Casey Donovan, Vince Jones, Jay Laga’aia, Lime Cordiale with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Em Rusciano and Ursula Yovich, to name just a few.

On your markers…

Pull up a chair for a Tina del Twist on your Sunday brunch date.

She’s breaking out the bingo cage with a bevvie in hand.

It’s earned five-star reviews from everybody who’s anybody (and casually picked up Comic’s Choice Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival) so run, don’t walk.

Come hungry for a feast of incredible acts, delicious snacks and the honey-dipped vocals of your host, Australia’s nightingale, Tina del Twist.
