Suzi Ruffell

In this brutally honest, funny and often moving memoir, Suzi tells her life story with openness and precision, while also drawing on insights from a range of experts to explore the bigger questions it raises. From masking anxiety through performance and struggling to find her place at school, on stage and in relationships, to coming out, building a career in comedy and becoming a parent, she lays her life bare with clarity, wit and sharp observation.

Suzi Ruffell is an award winning stand up comedian, writer, radio presenter and podcast host. She appears regularly on television favourites including Live at the Apollo, The Jonathan Ross Show and Mock the Week, and has built a large following through her live work and widely viewed online clips. Her podcasts include Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen, Big Kick Energy with Maisie Adam, and her long running solo series Out, featuring conversations with leading LGBTQ+ figures.

This event offers the chance to hear directly from one of the UK’s most distinctive comic voices, in a setting that allows for both humour and more reflective discussion. The evening will conclude with a book signing.
