Comedy Royalty and Star of I’m A Celebrity… Ruby Wax announces highly anticipated return to the stage with brand new show Ruby Wax: Absolutely Famous.

The queen of comedy, renowned-broadcaster, actor, and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax has announced a brand new UK tour with Ruby Wax: Absolutely Famous, also featuring her long-time collaborator Clive Tulloh.

Ruby is currently delighting audiences on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! where she has been charming her campmates in the Australian jungle with tales from those she quizzed on her hit TV shows Ruby Wax Meetsand Full Wax. Ruby coaxed fascinating insights from Donald Trump, OJ Simpson, Pamela Anderson and Madonna to name just a few, all who found themselves in the hot seat on the BAFTA-nominated format. 

Audiences will now have the chance to see Ruby’s provocative, hilariously abrasive and incomparable style for themselves in this brand-new live show. Ruby brings the same mold-breaking, establishment questioning and pioneering energy to everything she’s ever worked on. Once again, she will be – just about – kept in check by her lifelong friend and A-list producer Clive Tulloh, as the pair come together to review clips from the extraordinary shows they worked on, share scandalous stories that have never been heard before, and take the audience along for the ride. 

Ruby Wax said: “It’s Ruby here – yes, broadcasting live from the jungle, where the Wi-Fi is powered by mosquitoes and my only beauty routine is ‘don’t get eaten.’ But fear not! The moment I escape; I’m heading straight back on the road and can’t wait to see you all there.”

Ruby Wax OBE is an award-winning comedian, actress and mental health advocate. From the Royal Shakespeare Company, to primetime TV, and script editing on the beloved Absolutely Fabulous, Ruby has cemented herself as one of the greats on both stage and screen.
