Episode description
In episode 4, Mitch Wallis speaks to Ruby Wax OBE, a very well-known comedian. In the 1980’s, Ruby starred in the sitcom Girls on Top, and came to prominence as a comic interviewer in shows including The Full Wax and Ruby Wax Meets, as well as writing for the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous otherwise known as Ab Fab! This is a more light hearted interview so enjoy listening to our sh*t and inappropriate jokes. What better way to not feel so crazy than to listen to someone who totally and unapologetically owns it.
This episode covers:
- her impressive comedy career and equally esteemed academic career
- navigating depression in an era where "mental health" wasn't a thing
- experiencing feeling "crazy" and spending time in a psychiatric unit
- why our own illnesses can often lead us to help others who suffer
- how to be unapologetically yourself, even in the face of challenge
