'The Full Wax' - Ruby Wax Compilation Show - BBC1 1992

[@gretchenbaker7435]

That Ethel Merman was incredible! This was the best show ever, thanks!

[@gandfgandf5826]

The tone Jennifer Saunders used when she said "surely not Ruby ", 😂🤣😅

[@SchindlersFiist]

She's great, isn't she?😊😂❤

[@ohwiseowl9163]

Omg I loved these back in the day , found it today again. Sooooo happy 👍👍🙌🇬🇧❤

Never heard of this woman, Ruby Wax, until yesterday, when i discovered some interview she did with someone... I've now been binge watching a bunch of these clips, and have to say, she is one talented person. Funny as hell. Why isn't she more famous?

[@Chillmax]

Hey, I'm guessing you're not in the UK, as she is a household name in the UK & has been for over 20 years; although she took some time out recently as she wasn't well. But she still writes & performs & is married to a top TV director Ed Bye. She may try & make a big TV comeback, who knows, she may not want to?!

[@FredrikLNielsen]

I'm from Norway, but I am a huge fan of British and American humour. Never ever heard her name or seen these clips before, so I find it odd that she is so talented and funny, and that i have never seen any of this until now. Seems like most of these interview clips are from 2003 and back, so people 25 and younger might not know who she is... was she ever famous in America?

[@Chillmax]

Hallo! I've got quite a few of her shows on my channel, which are from the mid 1990's, and some very unusual ones that people will have forgotten, so do go to the My Video section and look through for her - Ruby Takes a Trip - is very good! No, she never made it in America. Also look for 'Girls On Top' - hilarious (although not on my channel) ;-)

[@FredrikLNielsen]

Thanks! I will check them out! :)

[@MrTonyInchpractice]

she was script editor on absolutely fabulous. she was a stand-up comic. she was with the royal shakespeare company with alan rickman. she revolutionised the talk-show. she recently got a degree at oxford university for mindfulness, and she works for better mental health awareness for all. she was a genius who flourished in the late eighties/early nineties. check out her interview with clive james. check out her carpool episode (bristish version). she never was successful in america- her whole telly persona was geared toward the british understanding of americans being brash, crass, loud-mouthed... and i don't think the americans really got it. a lot of brits didn't, either. she should be considered a monolith of brit comedy/entertainment.

[@ryanburton5783]

Who ever designed Ruby's outfits was fabulous. She looked great.

[@deanbarnette1602]

OMG, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!!! 💜🤣

[@clarabow11]

Taffy Turner, absolutely hilarious. We need more comedy like this , great writing, great wit, such characters in this, still hilarious!!

[@Chillmax]

I hear people are frightened to write comedy shows now, too risky to upset the crazies, I wish Joan Rivers was still here!

[@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts]

She'd have had such fun with the stupidity of today 😁

[@LenoraCollins]

Ruby is an absolute genius talking with another genius. I mean, does it get better?

[@3506Dodge]

I grew up in her hometown, Evanston, ILL. Few people know Ruby there.

[@davinatest8467]

It would be lovely to be able to hear the interview over the piped laughter

[@Chillmax]

As this is a clip show you might not have seen them, but this is shot in front of a big studio audience, so there really are people laughing at this, Ruby usually talks to the audience during the show. In fact the BBC are famous for almost never using 'canned laughter', the nearest they get to that is when a show is filmed outside the studio, the audience is recorded watching & laughing as they watch it's and added in later.

The smoking psychic channeling ethel merman is comedy gold

[@FurtherFielder]

Wow! This amazing!

[@tylerlately]

Joan and Ruby seem like the same person from different multiverses

[@Chillmax]

On the surface they may have some similarities, but as a long time viewer of them both, they're not really the same at all. Joan is much more focused &, in public at least, it's joke after joke, line after line after line, if there's no punchline, Joan tends not to say it. Whereas Ruby, when she's not reading a script, is very rambling, she could end up anywhere & if there's a punchline, great, but more often than not, there isn't. I think Ruby sometimes did a great impersonation of Joan's style, but Joan is always Joan, I still miss her.

[@DannyM.D.N.A]

I miss ms wax on the telly she was jokes Wish her stuff was on dvd also

[@Chillmax]

@softlavender - Hi There, I'm guessing you're not in the UK ;-) That's the very famous (here) June Brown MBE, known for over 25 years as 'Dot Cotton' one of the main characters in 'EastEnders'. BBC1's flag ship, evening soap opera. Funny that you ask about her, only last night 'Who Do You Think You Are?' returned, featuring June herself. Thanks for watching ;-)

[@mailemccorriston6727]

I’m 52 and it’s the year 2022. And NOW I learn about Ruby Wax. With Ms Saunders. (Did is spell it correctly?) great team.

[@LenoraCollins]

I feel like my brains' gone. Do you know how that feels? Ruby:

[@peterv2608]

Joan and Ruby should have worked more together.

[@judyalcatraz918]

Joan and ruby should have worked in fashion police ...classic!

[@malcolmblacc9206]

she is so hilarious, i love that she has so much humor but its not digusting and degrading like nowadays

[@floris.927]

Ruby, Mo, and Rich ... that generation has the most naturally funny American expatriates.

[@ntiffin1]

I adore Ruby Wax for her irreverence and cheekiness. She has he ability to make fun of her guests to their faces without them realizing how foolish they look. However, Ruby, my dear, it's nuclear, not nucular. (08:34)

[@creamclassic]

@chillmax June Brown is indeed a national institution! Watched Who do you think you are and so glad they referred to her as Dot Cotton and not Branning as I hate the name Branning for her and much prefer the name as she is known by the UK population as Cotton :D

[@sparklesupreme8170]

wish I could find the whole interview with Joan Rivers

[@softlavender4550]

Who is that last guest -- the cooking segment?

[@softlavender4550]

@chillmax Thanks, chill. Does she always play dotty characters, or is she just having a really bad day?

[@carey579]

12:40 I have to get my vibrator drunk. Joan Forever Queen Of Comedy

[@deanbarnette1602]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Bebestofme99]

2 of my most favorite women on Earth

[@valeriepurnell5743]

very funny

[@ajivins1]

@chillmax She got visited in her castle by Doctor Who in the seventies!

[@Chillmax]

I think that's really her, but she was playing it up for comic effect; Dot can be both dotty & quite serious. I have seen her play a very nasty character on film, can't remember in what though, but in other words, she's a great character actress, and does what she's paid to do ;-)

[@malcolmblacc9206]

joan is so pretty

[@Kriegtime101]

I see a bald head, not, not unlike a Buddha.

[@robertavies1969]

before comedy was destroyed by scummy wokery

[@Chillmax]

We need her more now than ever, she wouldn't have stood for it!!
