It makes perfect sense why comedian Rudy-Lee Taurua has titled his show 'Diverse’.
Gay, mixed race, First Nation, raised by a single mother on the pension, working class, anxious, clinically depressed, domestic abuse survivor. Rudy checks all these boxes, and he also has the material to make you laugh. For Rudy, what some might call 'dark humour', he calls 'life'.
He's fresh from touring arenas across Australia with Jim Jefferies, and now he's ready to present a show where nothing is off limits. . . And a show where laughs are found even in places you'd never think to look for them.
Rudy throws it back and chills out before the craziness of Adelaide Fringe, by listing five super cool things in his video game collection.

The Nintendo Power Glove, in-box, quite rare.Two
Would have to be my complete in-box consoles including a PS1, Super Nintendo, Sega Master System.Three
