How Old Is Ruby Wax Now

So, you're curious about the age of Ruby Wax? Well, grab a cuppa, 'cause we're about to dive into a world of comedy, mental health, and a dash of 'when did she get so old?'

Ruby Who?

Alright, let's rewind. If you've been living under a rock (or perhaps just not watching enough British panel shows), Ruby Wax is a comedy gem. Born in South Africa, raised in Canada, and now a British national treasure, she's a comedian, writer, and mental health advocate. She's been making us laugh since the '80s, so she's basically comedy's answer to a fine wine - getting better with age.

Age is Just a Number, Right?

Well, not quite. While Ruby might joke that she's 'older than the hills' or 'as old as the pyramids,' we do need to put a number on it. So, let's do the math. Ruby was born on November 5, 1951. That's right, she's a Scorpio, and yes, she's older than your parents. Probably.

Now, you might be thinking, 'But she doesn't look that old!' Well, that's the magic of laughter, my friend. It keeps you young. Or maybe it's the good genes. Either way, she's defying time like a comedic Benjamin Button.

Ruby's Comedy Career: A Whirlwind of Laughs

Ruby's comedy career is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get. She's done it all: stand-up, TV shows, books, even a TED Talk. She's been a regular on panel shows like 'Have I Got News For You' and 'QI,' leaving audiences in stitches with her quick wit and hilarious observations.

The tragic reason Ruby Wax had to change her real name

But here's where it gets interesting. While Ruby's been making us laugh for decades, she's also been open about her struggles with mental health. She's used her platform to raise awareness and reduce the stigma around mental illness. And that, my friends, is what we call 'using your age and experience for good.'

Ruby Wax: Mental Health Advocate

In 2013, Ruby graduated from Oxford University with a Master's degree in psychotherapy. Yes, you read that right. She's a comedian with a degree from Oxford. Talk about a party trick! This led to her becoming a mental health advocate, using her comedy to raise awareness and start conversations.

She's written books like 'Sane New World' and 'A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled,' and she's even started a campaign called 'Frazzled' to help people cope with stress and anxiety. So, while she might be older, she's certainly not slowing down. In fact, she's busier than a one-armed bricklayer in a breakdancing competition.

So, How Old Is She Again?

Alright, alright, we'll get to the point. As of 2022, Ruby Wax is 70 years young. Yes, you read that right. She's seventy. But don't let that number fool you. She's still as sharp as a tack, as funny as ever, and as passionate about mental health as she's always been.

And here's a fun fact to wrap it up: Ruby's birthday is on Guy Fawkes Night. So, not only is she a national treasure, but she's also a bit of a firecracker. Now, who's ready for some sparklers?
