Comedy Preview - SUZI RUFFELL - NOCTURNAL - NORTHERN STAGE, NEWCASTLE - SATURDAY 19TH MAY 2019



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.
