Ruby Wax at Dunstan Playhouse

Having trouble with your own mind? Motor mouth American Ruby Wax can help.

Based on her No. 1 bestselling book Sane New World: Taming the Mind, Ruby’s brand new solo show sees the queen of hilarious acerbic asides providing a tour of the human brain. Part comedy, part group therapy session, totally entertaining.

The brain explained, by a woman who has become a highly respected campaigner for mental health issues, Sane New World explains how little we know about our minds and just how precious they are. ‘It’s like having a Ferrari on top of your head but no one gave you the keys’ says Ruby.

Since her last tour Ruby Wax has completed a Masters Degree in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy at Oxford University and become more interested in the cerebrum than celebrity culture. Here she shares it all – why we sabotage our sanity, how to rewire our thinking in a frenetic world and how to become masters of our own mind – all this in one hour spiked with a serious amount of comedy.

Ruby Wax is a household name, known for collaborations with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, and herinfamous interviews with Pamela Anderson, Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York, Eddie Izzard, Boy George and Liza Minnelli, among many others.

Sane New World will give you a full Oxford degree plus an hour of huge laughs. Don’t miss out.
