Tickets go on general sale Friday March 10 at 10am via LiveNation.co.uk

Ruby Wax said: “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.”

In 2022, Ruby Wax went on a search to find meaning. She booked a series of potentially life-changing journeys.

In the Dominican Republic, she went swimming with humpback whales; she joined a Christian monastery; in Greece, she worked in a refugee camp; in California, she did a silent 30-day mindfulness retreat.

The search to find meaning was about to take her in a different direction, no longer journeying in the outside world but within her own mind, and this inner journey would turn out to be the most life-changing journey of all.

Directed by writer and an Olivier Award-winning director Clare Lizzimore, I’m Not as Well as I Thought I Was, will see Ruby pushing boundaries, and making her mark as one of the most important voices in mental health today.
