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 will take your shoes off right from the start. Kay Ray sings everything from Milva to Kate Bush, from Reinhard Mey to Rammstein. There's no such thing as "can't do." "What's happening outside doesn't interest me. If the world ends today, it will end without me," sang Ina Deter in the 90s. Comedy without attitude. Simply 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 far more than the hyper-double-standards of morality everywhere. "What unites the common climate glue with the even meaner parliamentarian? The stickiness! The climate glue sticks to the street - the parliamentarian to his post. Perhaps such long-term members of the German Bundestag should be renamed "those who have been here longer."
Kay Ray sings songs by everyone and makes jokes about everyone. Because where the fun ends, it's not the seriousness that begins, but misery. Whoever forbids laughter forbids us from living. The Kay Ray Show. A funny, musical, and hard-hitting reckoning with the zeitgeist.

Chris Tal thanked Kay Ray at the Bambi Awards in November 2019. He owed his breakthrough with Stefan Raab to an attitude and a wit that was significantly shaped by Kay Ray and brought to the stage in the spirit of Chris Tal. "Darf er das?" 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. And in doing so, he's a sparkling, joyful bomb with high explosive power. You have to experience it live! Go see it!"

Ingmar Stadelmann in an interview in October 2019: "If there's one thing that annoys me about the German comedy scene, it's that a comedian like Kay Ray, after more than 20 years of stage performance and genius, still doesn't get decent attention on television, let alone his own show. That seems absurd to me. But who am I?"
