        Following a triumphant sell-out West End run and UK tour, Ruby Wax's critically acclaimed show is touring Australia and New Zealand—don’t miss her most daring, hilarious, and unfiltered performance yet!

        Based on her bestselling book, I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was, Ruby shares with audiences her deeply personal journey through transformative experiences such as swimming with humpback whales, a silent retreat, and time at a Christian monastery. With her celebrated combination of wit and vulnerability, Ruby masterfully dismantles stereotypes around mental health and happiness.

        ‘Deeply thoughtful and resolutely frothy’ (The Times)

        Don’t miss this chance to laugh, reflect, and engage at Ruby's most compelling show.

        This show includes an audience Q&A to engage directly, share experiences and discuss mental well-being. A meet and greet will follow, with opportunities to purchase signed copies of Ruby’s latest book.

        With over 25 years in comedy and television, Ruby holds an Oxford Masters in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy and was awarded an OBE for her services to mental health. Her books, including Sane New World and A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled, have topped the Sunday Times bestsellers list, selling over a million copies worldwide.

        Join Ruby Wax for an evening of laughter, insight, and an open dialogue on mental health.
