SUZI
RUFFELL
Nocturnal
UK Tour 2019
“Nocturnal is
rammed with laughs plus a topping of sexual politics. Ruffell really
does have funny bones… has a cartoonish almost Charlie Chaplinesque essence
about her” – **** EVENING STANDARD
“As a
bellwether for our supposedly woke times, Suzi Ruffell is compelling” –
****
FEST
“Positively bursting with comedic energy and
the gags tumble out at a breakneck rate: blink and another punchline has flown
by” –
**** THE LIST
“It’s great to see the
continued growth of Suzi’s career on stage and TV. She might be a born worrier
but she’s also born to do stand-up”
– ***** ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS
“The innate comic
talent shines through, with her writing tightly-honed. Inducing laughter
virtually non-stop, Ruffell is absolutely one to see” – ***** THREE WEEKS
Nominated
Chortle Best Breakthrough Act 2017
Last summer was a big one for Suzi Ruffell. Returning to Edinburgh, she sold out every night and
earned a litany of five-star reviews and
shedloads of critical acclaim – thus cementing her
reputation as one of the biggest breakthrough acts in the UK. This coming February, she is taking that show – NOCTURNAL – on tour around the
UK.
If you don’t have anxiety, I don’t
think you’re concentrating! Suzi is worried about everything – from someone
breaking into her flat, to human rights across the globe, to whether the next
series of The Crown will be as good as the first two – and it’s stopping her
from sleeping.
Some people need stimulants to stay
awake, but not our Suzi. Anxiety is better than any amphetamine, and caused by
a myriad of things including politics, finding
love, her cat’s happiness, the fact that the bloke who lives in the flat below
seems a bit of a creep, online trolls, and the good old FOMO – fear of missing
out. All this was caused in no small part by a trip to India, in which Suzi
began to question her place in the world, her identity, and religion.
Regarded as one of the best acts breaking through
in the UK right now, Suzi Ruffell was nominated for the Chortle Best
Breakthrough Act in 2017 – as well as having her Edinburgh show shot as a
special for Live at the BBC, which featured
on BBC One.
After quickly establishing herself on the live
circuit, her 2016 and 2017 (Keeping It Classy) runs at the Edinburgh Festival
saw her sell out and receive critical acclaim, nabbing the working class comedy
crown of her generation – which was further cemented with the touring of the
show throughout the UK last year. She has also performed in Australia, as part
of the Melbourne Comedy Roadshow.
Suzi’s TV appearances include Live at the Apollo, Mock the
Week, Live from the BBC, Comedy
Central’s Stand Up Central, Roast Battle, Suzi Ruffell Live at the Comedy Store and Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier.
Suzi co-hosts the hit podcast Like-Minded Friends with fellow comedian
Tom Allen, and to date the podcast has had more than a million downloads. Currently,
she has a number of TV projects in development.
