Am I Having Fun Now? Anxiety, Applause and Life’s Big Questions, Answered
Does peaking in high school mess you up for life? When it comes to careers, was Miley Cyrus right? Is it all about the climb? And what – scientifically – is the best way to mend a broken heart? Comedian Suzi Ruffell is considering life’s big questions…
In this candid, funny and often moving memoir, Suzi winningly shares her story, turning to Elizabeth Day, Dolly Alderton, Charlene Douglas, Laura Bates and more for their take on the questions it throws up along the way. From masking anxiety with musical theatre, developing an obsession with Titanic, and struggling to find her groove at school, on stage, and in her love life, to (eventually) coming out, falling in love, and becoming a parent, Suzi lays her life bare with signature wit and style. Threaded with brilliant observations on feminism, identity and the up and downsides of ambition, Am I Having Fun Now? is the perfect read for fans of Fern Brady, Sara Pascoe and Tom Allen, and anyone who’s ever worried about their place in the world.
