Comedian, writer and television personality Ruby Wax has announced five Irish tour dates for later this year.
From 17 to 22 October, the 70-year-old comic will bring her I'm Not As Well As I Thought I Was show to the Everyman in Cork, Waterford's Theatre Royal, The Pavilion Theatre in Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, The MAC in Belfast and Galway's Town Hall Theatre as part of the city's comedy festival.
I'm Not As Well As I Thought I Was is Wax’s first tour show in four years following her sell-out tour, How To Be Human. It is based on her book of the same name.
Explaining the new show, Wax says, "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," she says.
"However, after some transcendent experiences, I ended up in a mental institution. Obviously, I didn’t find what I was looking for."
Tickets are on sale from venues at 10am on Friday 12 April.
