A circuit regular performing for a host of established booker’s and clubs, Ruth has built up a reputation amongst many as being a very safe pair of hands, capable of handling any audience. With a very likeable stage persona, cleverly written material, with a slightly naughty twist.

Capable of performing sets or compering Ruth is a perfect addition to any comedy line up.

To top all this off Ruth has gain a big reputation amongst festival booker’s with appearances at Blissfields, Beatherder, Kendall Calling & Green Man to name a few.
