Ruby Wax has announced an autumn leg of her Sane New World Tour. The UK tour starts in Basingstoke on September 13 and ends in Cardiff on October 28. This follows a run at the Edinburgh Fringe at the Assembly Rooms from August 1 - 7.

The renaissance comedian has based this new show on her No. 1 bestselling book Sane New World: Taming the Mind, which has enjoyed worldwide success since publication in 2013. The show will help us understand why we sabotage our own sanity and provides a manual on how to survive the 21st century, using Ruby’s knowledge from her recent Masters Degree in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy at Oxford University spiked with comedy.

Wax has explained why we need "a manual" to cope with life:“We are not equipped for this century, it’s too hard, too fast, and too full of fear; we just don’t have the bandwidth. Our brains can’t take so much information in a world where we’re bombarded by bad news and force-fed information. I can just about take in the weather then I’m exhausted. You open a newspaper, everyone’s dead. We’re only supposed to know what our neighbour is up to; if the woman next door to you is having sex with the man next door to her we need to know; but four doors down and it’s none of our business. We know so much about how the world works - but so little about our how our own minds work.  It’s like having a Ferrari on top of your head but no one gave you the keys.”
