COMEDIAN Ruby Wax will take centre stage at Redditch's Palace Theatre later this month as she showcases her one-woman show based on her book Sane New World: Taming the Mind.

Using her signature humour, Ruby, author of Sunday Times bestseller, will be giving the audience a tour of the brain and how to tame it.

The 62-year-old provides a manual on how to survive the 21st century, using knowledge from her recent Masters Degree in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy at Oxford University.

"We know so much about how the world works- but so little about our how our own minds work," Ruby said.

"It’s like having a Ferrari on top of your head but no one gave you the keys. We are not equipped for this century, it’s too hard, too fast, and too full of fear; we just don’t have the bandwidth.

"Our brains can’t take so much information in a world where we’re bombarded by bad news and force-fed information.”

The show is taking place on Thursday, October 29 at 7.30pm.
