Kay Ray is an entertainer with heart and experience. Do you know that feeling of taking off shoes that are actually too tight? You feel free.
Experience an evening that takes those tight shoes off for you right from the start. Kay Ray sings everything from Milva to Kate Bush, from Reinhard Mey to Rammstein. Nothing’s impossible.
“I don’t care what’s happening out there. If the world ends today, it’ll end without me,” as Ina Deter sang back in the ’90s. Comedy without a political stance. Just for fun. 

An evening of music and lyrics. And: NO! We’re not going to save the world by renaming a sauce.

It’s humor that gives us answers amid the daily madness—answers that help us far more than the hyper-hypocritical, dinosaur-like guardians of virtue everywhere. “What unites the average climate protester with the even more average parliamentarian? Sticking! The climate protester sticks to the street—the parliamentarian to his post. Perhaps
such long-serving members of the German Bundestag be renamed ‘Those Who’ve Been Stuck Here for a While.’
Kay Ray sings songs about everyone and cracks jokes about everyone. Because where the fun ends, it’s not seriousness that begins, but misery. Whoever forbids laughter forbids us life. The Kay Ray Show. A funny, musical, and no-holds-barred reckoning with the zeitgeist.
At the Bambi Awards ceremony in November 2019, Chris Tal thanked Kay Ray. After all, he owed his breakthrough on Stefan Raab’s show to an attitude and a joke that were significantly influenced by Kay Ray and brought to the stage in a way that suited Chris Tal. “Is he allowed to 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 whole lot. You’re a total work of art, a one-man circus. You’re the Grim Reaper of humor...”
Arnulf Rating: “Kay Ray—someone who stands up for his truth with everything he’s got. He takes every risk. And in doing so, he’s a spark-sparkling grenade of joy with high explosive power. You have to experience this live! Go see him!”
Ingmar Stadelmann in an interview in October 2019: “If there’s one thing that annoys me about the German comedy scene, it’s that, for example, a comedian like Kay Ray—after more than 20 years on stage and showcasing his genius—still doesn’t get any decent attention on TV, let alone his own show. That seems absurd to me. But who am I, anyway?”
