Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

After a complete sell-out first run in 2023, Ruby Wax‘s rawest, darkest, funniest and most compelling stage show yet announces brand new dates for 2024, thanks to enormous demand. “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.” I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was is Ruby’s first tour show in four years following her critically acclaimed, sell-out tour, How To Be Human.

Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Emmanuel Sonubi presents a whistle stop tour through the jobs that have led him to become one of the hottest stand-ups on the circuit in the brand-new show, Curriculum Vitae. Emmanuel will take the audience on a hilarious and sometimes poignant journey that explores the professions that he’s had prior to becoming a comedian, discussing how those experiences helped shape his comedic voice. From working in IT to the doors of London’s nightlife whilst building up an impressive list of musical theatre credits. As seen on, QI (BBC), Alan Davies As Yet Untitled (Dave), Rhod Gilberts Growing Pains (Comedy Central), Apprentice ‘You’re Fired’ (BBC), Pointless Celebrities (BBC) and headlining Live at the Apollo (BBC). Emmanuel said today, “I’m thrilled to be back on tour in the UK with ‘Curriculum Vitae’. Last year’s tour was an amazing experience and selling out most of the shows was incredible! Writing this new show has been a lot more fun than writing an actual CV and, I get to be honest”. London based Emmanuel Sonubi’s career in comedy started only a few years ago and quickly grew from strength to strength earning himself a reputation as “one to watch out for”.
