Comedian, broadcaster and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax has announced a new UK tour, Ruby Wax: Absolutely Famous, also featuring her long-time collaborator Clive Tulloh. The tour will kick off in Henley-on-Thames on 25th March 2026, with the Spring leg drawing to a close in Bristol on 7th July. Tickets will be on sale from Friday 28th November and available from http://rubywax.net/livetour

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 Meets'and '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. Once again, Ruby 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. She also has a master’s degree in mindfulness based cognitive therapy from The University of Oxford and in 2015 was awarded an OBE for her services to mental health. Ruby is also currently starring on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 

Ruby has brought the same mold-breaking, establishment questioning and pioneering energy to everything she’s ever worked on. She is also a Visiting Professor in the School of Mental Health Nursing at the University of Surrey as well as holding an Honorary Doctorate from the School of Psychology from The University of East London and University of Staffordshire.

She has also been awarded a City Lit Lifetime Fellowship, ambassador for the British Neuroscience Association, MIND, SANE and the president of Relate and Chancellor of Southampton. In the field of mental health, Ruby's brought support for mental health to a whole new audience discussing complex neurological theory in an accessible and often hilarious way but always with a serious point that we need to reframe the conversation and remove the stigma that mental health illness still carries.
