Ruby Wax
Ruby Wax returns to stage, following her critically acclaimed, sell out tour, How To Be Human. A stage adaptation of her upcoming book, set for release 11th May 2023. Renowned for her comedy, her fearless approach to tackling mental well-being, and her ability to make audiences laugh and cry in equal measure. I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was, is set to be Ruby’s rawest, darkest, funniest and most compelling stage show yet.
Three trailblazing women - Ruby Wax, Melanie Brown and Emily Atack – come together to re-trace the footsteps of intrepid Victorian explorer, Isabella Bird, whose exploits have largely been lost to history.
As a nation we collectively proclaim that we’re 'fine’ 215 million times every day, with the average person saying it four times during every 24 hour period, and 28 times over the course of a week. Yet, according to new research, nearly every other time (38%) a person in Britain says the ‘f word’, they’re not being honest.
BBC Two has commissioned When Ruby Met... a reflection on some of the most impactful celebrity interviews of the 1990s.
In the early 1990s Ruby Wax smashed out of the TV studio and rewrote the rule book on the celebrity chat show. In this three-part series, for BBC Two and iPlayer, When Ruby Met... Ruby will look back at some of these seminal encounters.
Ruby Wax will be doing free topical online sessions - ‘Frazzled in the time of Corona’
For anyone feeling anxious, lonely, perplexed, overwhelmed or frazzled, there are free daily online meetings where you can talk about how you are feeling with like-minded people. The groups are the brainchild of comedian, author and mental health advocate, Ruby Wax, who created these safe spaces for people to connect when she founded the charity Frazzled Cafe.
Ruby Wax has cancelled her Edinburgh Fringe run of her show How To Be Human that was due to take place at The Pleasance Grand from 18th-24th August.
Ruby Wax has made a good name for herself in recent years with her shows - and books - concerning mental health. January of last year saw the release of her latest tome, How To Be Human: The Manual, put together with a little help from monk Gelong Thubten and neuroscientist Ash Ranpura. But more about them later. Part anthropology TED talk and part one-woman show, the first half of the show sees Wax present her findings in a humorous and fact-packed manner.
Ruby Wax has been confirmed as one of the subjects in the forthcoming series of Who Do You Think You Are? Comedian and Citizen Khan actor Adil Ray's background will also be dissected.
The fourteenth series will also feature Charles Dance, Clare Balding, Emma Willis, Craig Revel Horwood, Noel Clarke, Lulu, Lisa Hammond and Fearne Cotton.
I haven’t seen many comedy critics reviewing Ruby Wax’s latest show, Frazzled. But then again it doesn’t quite fit into the conventional comedy template. There are certainly plenty of gags but Wax has a serious message, raising awareness of mental health and working out how we deal with modern life and the stress that goes with it.
