Actress, comedian and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax is returning to the stage after four years – in a brand new tour that is set to be her rawest, darkest, and funniest stage show yet.
I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was is a stage adaptation of her upcoming book of the same name, and chronicles the various journeys Ruby has taken to try and find meaning.
Ruby Wax: I’m Not as Well as I Thought I Was is at the Grand Opera House York on Thursday 28 September 2023.
In 2022, Ruby booked a series of potentially life-changing journeys to try and find meaning. In the Dominican Republic, she went swimming with humpback whales; she joined a Christian monastery; in Greece, she worked in a refugee camp; in California, she did a silent 30-day mindfulness retreat.
“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,” said Ruby.
“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.”
The inner journey Ruby has taken would turn out to be the most life-changing journey of all.
Tickets go on sale on Friday 10 March at 10am. They start at £29.25 and will be available via the Grand Opera House website.
