Ruby had it all – career, dream house, husband, kids – but people soon realised something was wrong when she painted her house the same colour beige for the 47th time.

There was only one thing for it – send her to the Priory!

Ruby Wax’s acerbic wit and worldly wisdom combined with Judith Owen’s touching and poignant songs create a show that is at once vulnerable and surprisingly thought-provoking as well as being laugh-out-loud funny.

Ruby Wax on how she tackled her bi-polar disorder – and turned it into a stage show in the Daily Telegraph

Ruby Wax’s monologue is underscored by the shimmering, reflective music of Judith Owen.

“Ruby Wax is on razor sharp form. I laughed and I cried. Don’t miss it!” Adam Helliker, Sunday Express

Ruby Wax originally studied psychology as a teenager at Berkeley in the United States, before leaving for England to become a comedienne and TV presenter.

Over the past four years Ruby Wax has returned to her original calling, training as a psychotherapist and studying for an MA in Neuroscience.

Ruby wrote a book on her relationship with her parents, How do you want me?

Ruby also recently appeared at the Edinburgh festival as part of the Headroom campaign.

  • Ruby, I've always admired you and you're truly funny.

    My mum called me when they were reporting about Loosing It on the news. Thank you for being open about your depression. I was depressed for nine years, it's truly a dark experience. Thank you again and to your friend too.

    All the best with the play and I pray it never comes back to haunt you again.

    Regards Ada.
