Suzi Ruffell’s Am I Having Fun Now? Book Is Out Today

Off The Kerb are pleased to announce that Suzi Ruffell‘s book, Am I Having Fun Now? Anxiety, Applause and Life’s Big Questions, Answered is out now.

The award-winning standup comedian’s debut book is published by Pan MacMillan, and is available to purchase on Amazon and Waterstones, and in stores.

In this brutally honest, funny, and often moving memoir, Suzi winningly tells her life story, and asks a host of experts to answer the tricky questions it prompts along the way. Diamond life advice comes from the likes of Elizabeth Day, Dolly Alderton, Charlene Douglas, Laura Bates, Dr Kirren Schnack, and more.

Suzi explains: ‘I’ve been fighting anxiety since I was a little kid, and I assumed it would always just be there, something that plagued me constantly, a bogeyman ready to jump out as soon as I lowered my guard. I’ll be honest, it was exhausting. I knew it HAD to change. Approaching 40, with a family and a job I love, I decided now was the time to stop fighting anxiety, and learn to understand it. For the first time, I committed to therapy, unpacked my history and worked out how to make it, if not a friend, then a friendly companion, rather than an enemy.’

She continues: ‘This book is inspired by what I found out on that journey. But don’t worry! It’s not like a depressing textbook! It’s funny, honest, occasionally embarrassing, and, ok, sometimes sad, but, above all else, hopeful.’
