Summary
Flawless in delivery, bubbling over with jokes, and with something real and compassionate to say, Suzi Ruffell is at the peak of her powers. We talk about: her latest Edinburgh fringe show "Dance Like Everyone's Watching"; making sure that LGBTQ+ people in the audience feel seen; how punishing she found being a new act (and whether she could do it all again); and why she finds happiness terrifying.
Extras available exclusively to members of the Insiders Club include Suzi on her dos and don'ts of tour support, having worked extensively with Josh Widdicombe, Romesh Ranganathan and Kevin Bridges, as well as her thoughts on what makes a good director, and the best advice she was ever given...

| 0:04.6 | Well, I thought so, and then I took my show Spoilers to the Edinburgh Festival and everyone bloody loved it, |
| 0:09.7 | including Brian Eno, if you can believe that. You can see it at the Soho Theatre from the 29th of November for four nights get your tickets at Stuart Goldsmith.com. So, Hello and |
| 0:35.0 | welcome to the show I'm Stuart Goldsmith today. I'm talking to Susie Ruffle. |
| 0:40.0 | We are both currently at the Edinburgh Festival and her show absolutely knocked me out this year. |
| 0:44.7 | Susie is someone who I think that, as we talk about at his interview, she didn't have the kind of |
| 0:52.4 | killer debut year or years that a lot of people have, but |
| 0:56.4 | she has been quietly putting the work in year on year getting very, very good and I confidently |
| 1:02.2 | expect this to be something of a breakthrough year for her. |
| 1:05.0 | By which I don't necessarily mean awards or any of those things. |

| 1:32.6 | So without further ado and I'll chat to you obviously in the middle. |
