Ruby Wax - I'm not as well as I thought I was

Ruby Wax

The Haymarket
Wednesday 1 May 2024 
7.30pm                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                  .                        After a complete sell-out first run in 2023, Ruby Wax's rawest, darkest, funniest, and most compelling stage show yet comes to The Haymarket.

Ruby explains: “The original idea behind this show was based on the extreme journeys that I wanted to take in order to find an antidote to living a frazzled life. Along the way I wanted to find meaning, peace, happiness – the stuff we’re all chasing. However, after some transcendent experiences, I ended up in a mental institution. Obviously, I didn’t find what I was looking for.”

Not your usual stand-up show, I'm Not as Well as I Thought I Was is Ruby's first tour in four years following her renowned, sell-out run of How To Be Human. This show dazzles in theatricality and is closer to a one-woman play filled with funny and heart-warming anecdotes.

The evening will include a Q&A with Ruby.
