Ruby Wax Tickets

After a complete sell-out run of a 40-date national tour, Ruby Wax's rawest, darkest, funniest and most compelling stage show yet announces its first West End dates at The Ambassadors Theatre. As well as the show, this unique performance includes an exclusive, frank and personal Q&A with Ruby and the chance to meet her after the show.  

Based on her bestselling book of the same name, I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was sees Ruby reflect on a series of life-changing journeys she undertook in search of meaning – swimming with humpback whales; embarking on a 30-day silent retreat in California; joining a Christian monastery – that ended up taking her in a very different direction. After ten years, Ruby’s depression resurfaced, and at the start of 2022 she was admitted to a mental health clinic. 

“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.”
