Thoughts on first 72 hours of the show.

Review - Ruby Wax: Sane New World

After suffering a major depressive episode that left her in hospital, Ruby Wax became a campaigner for mental health. Her last show detailed her breakdown; her latest asks how we deal with a disease reaching epidemic proportions.

Ruby Wax: A Sane New World - review

There's no doubt Ruby's aim is to help smash the taboo around mental illness with this show and, given the response of the crowd, I'm certain she managed to stimulate debate which will run beyond the theatre stalls.

Ruby Wax: Sane New World review

Is it a showbiz tale or a workshop for the audience? It's hard to tell, but the comic's interactive stage show does feel therapeutic.

Ruby Wax: Sane New World, review: 'fascinating'

Part comedy show, part science lecture, this is inspiring and intriguing. But there is a lack of new material, says Laura Barnett.

Ruby Wax, Sane New World, St James Theatre - review

Wax's new show is as much self-help lecture as it comedy, but her razor-sharp humour hasn't dulled.

Ruby Wax's Sane New World: the funny side of depression

Ruby Wax's new stage show is about anxiety, rehab and the finer points of neuroscience - but it'll still make you laugh.

Ruby Wax: Sane New World - The Lowry, Salford

Sane New World is in many ways an interesting and enlightening experience, but it sits slightly awkwardly somewhere between entertainment, a lecture and a therapeutic workshop. Don't go expecting hilarity, you need to be prepared to roll with whatever emerges in the room, and every night must throw up a whole new set of thoughts to take away.

Interview: Ruby Wax - Sane New World

'Now I know how my brain got like this and what to do about it.'
