'A brilliant representation of anxiety made hilarious.' - Romesh Ranganathan

Does peaking in high school ruin you for life?
Was Miley Cyrus right, is it all about the climb (when it comes to building a career?)
And what - scientifically - is the best way to mend a broken heart?


Comedian Suzi Ruffell is considering life's big questions.

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.

From masking anxiety with musical theatre 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 trademark wit, verve and style.

Am I Having Fun Now? is riveting, relatable and revealing. Studded with brilliant, cutting observations on feminism, being working class in the world of arts and comedy, LGBTQ+ equality and the up- and downsides of ambition, it's perfect reading for fans of books by Fern Brady, Elizabeth Day, Romesh Ranganathan, Sarah Pascoe and Tom Allen.

This is the first audio book I’ve listened to. I’m not a big reader and if I’m listening to anything it’s usually music so this is out of character for me but I’m so glad that this book is the one I chose to listen to (I won’t pretend I didn’t buy an audible subscription exclusively to listen to this book)
With each new chapter I felt like I was relating to something new. It’s so raw and honest and listening to someone breaking down feelings that I’ve felt so many times before is so enlightening.
This book is so well written. It’s so funny, emotional, gritty at times and so incredibly well researched. Each expert interview was something new for me to learn.
I’m really into comedy at the moment and hearing one of my favourite comedians speak with and directly quote so many of my other favourite comedians was a massive bonus for me.
I just knew I would love this book because I’ve loved Suzi Ruffell for a while now. I remember searching through YouTube for as many standup clips of her I could find and I finally got to see her live in 2023 and she’s just amazing. Got another show of hers booked for October so I’m absolutely buzzing.
Do yourself a huge favour and listen to this book!!!!!

Amazing.
