Ruby: Comedian in New York

About Ruby

Ruby Wax is a comedian, writer, and television presenter whose work moves between performance, interviews, and public conversations about mental health. Trained as an actor, she started in classical theatre and later became known on British television for tightly structured comic interviewing and persona-driven talk formats. In New York City, she has appeared at Union Hall, bringing that same reporter’s ear for detail to live comedy. Her performances tend to favor precision and clear point of view over spectacle.
