Kay Ray Show
Winner of the Lorsch Abbot Award - 2019
Winner of the Bremer Comedy Prize (Jury Prize) - 2019
Out of vocation and passion and for almost 30 years, Kay Ray is the hardest working man in showbiz. A master who would sell his grandma for a joke - at least Claudia Roth. A divine juggler. A jester without fear or reproach. A constantly evolving natural talent. A provocateur who has shaped and influenced the entire genre.
Ingmar Stadelmann in an interview in October 19: “If something annoys me about the German comedy scene, it's that, for example, a comedian like Kay Ray, after over 20 years on stage and with genius, still doesn't get proper attention on television or even his own show. That seems absurd to me. But who am I anyway?”
Torsten Sträter about Kay Ray: "You are Kay Ray and that is a lot. You are a 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 all he's got. He takes every risk. And is a sparkling joy grenade with high explosive power. You have to experience it live! Go see him!"
Chris Tal thanked Kay Ray at the Bambi Awards in November 2019. He owed his breakthrough on Stefan Raab's show to an attitude and humor that was significantly influenced by Kay Ray and brought to the stage in the spirit of Chris Tal. "Could he do that?" would not have been possible without Kay Ray's inspiration.
Kay Ray is the embodiment of a prank call: provocation and poetry! Trash and tabula rasa! Experiment and ecstasy! Anarchy and crazy love! Farce and cabaret! Comedy and chanson! As a singer, he touches our hearts, as a clown every funny bone, and as a provocateur every small-minded person. No one is safe from his jokes and his magic. That's what makes him different. And it makes his shows different - night after night. Experience it for yourself!
