Ruby Wax: I'm Not As Well As I Thought I Was ~ AUS & NZ TOUR ~ 20 March - 10 April 2025
*** BRAND NEW DATES ON SALE: AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND!***
Following a triumphant sell-out West End run and 48 date UK tour, Ruby Wax's critically-acclaimed show is touring Australia and New Zealand. Don’t miss her rawest, darkest, funniest and most compelling 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.
“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.”
‘I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was’ is Ruby’s first tour show in four years following her critically acclaimed, sell-out tour, ‘How To Be Human’.
