Join Emily and Raymond for the second half our walk with the brilliant comedian (and one of our favourite people on the planet) Suzi Ruffell!

We chatted to Suzi about how anxiety goes hand in hand with stand up comedy, her brilliant mum and dad and learning to love the Pet Shop Boys.

Suzi’s new book Am I Having Fun Now is a candid, funny and moving memoir. Suzi covers everything 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.

This week - Ray’s been on a trip to his favourite place - Brighton Beach - to visit one of our favourite people… the comedian Suzi Ruffell!

Suzi and Ray get on famously and Suzi’s part of the very exclusive club of people who have appeared on this podcast three times - you can hear her first appearance from March 2020 and her second appearance from January 2024.

Despite three appearances on the podcast - Suzi STILL hasn’t got a dog… but we think she may nearly be ready to join the dog ownership club!!

We had a huge catch up to find out all about Suzi’s new book Am I Having Fun Now? The book is a candid, funny and often moving memoir. Suzi covers everything 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.

We’re in Epping Forest with the legendary England cricket player, Tammy Beaumont (aka Little Mitts) - and her black Labrador, Indy!

In this part of our chat, we discuss some of the barriers faced by young women getting into sport - and what is being done to overcome them. Tammy tells us about some of the incredible places cricket has taken her - including getting her MBE after helping England win the Cricket World Cup in 2017.

We have so much brilliant cricket ahead of us - including the India series this summer and the Women’s World Cup next year - so it’s the perfect time to get obsessed with cricket, which thanks to Tammy - we absolutely are!

If you want to catch Tammy in action this summer you can get tickets to see her play here - or you can watch all the action on Sky Sports!
