You may well already know Suzi from her acclaimed stand-up and hilarious appearances on TV shows like Live At The Apollo and Mock The Week. Perhaps you listen to one of her many podcasts (OUT With Suzi Ruffell, Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen, Big Kick Energy with Maisie Adam). Well, prepare to get to know her even better with the publication of her warm, witty and brilliantly honest memoir Am I Having Fun Now? Anxiety, Applause And Life’s Big Questions, Answered.
In our June/July issue, Suzi spoke to editor-in-chief Roxy Bourdillon about parenthood, success and family life. You can read our full interview with Suzi in our June/July issue, available to order now on divadirect.info.
For now, here’s a teaser of what Suzi had to say…
On authenticity: “I’ve tried to change who I am. None of it worked”
On accepting yourself: “I’m very happy in my own skin. I love being a lesbian, but you carry shit”
On homophobia: “I’ve experienced quite horrific homophobia onstage and had DMs that encourage violence”
