CHALK AND CHEESE?
Chalk About, the new show at Dance City, explores

Through its protagonists Christine and Hendrik, the
piece looks at some big questions about identity and the
meaning of life. A playful and sometimes moving look at
how we see ourselves and others, Chalk About features
dance, chat and, we are reliably informed, “a perfect scene
containing everything you could wish for”. Who knew?

RUBY WAX
RUBY WAX
BIG MOUTH
STRIKES AGAIN
AS RUBY WAX HEADS TO THE TOON, WE DISCOVER
SOMETHING OF THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MOUTH
First shock delivered by Google re
Ruby Wax: She is 61! When did that
happen? Mind, when you consider
that she has been a national (if
American-born) institution for more
than 30 years, the sums add up,
and her voice - brash, penetrating,
American - is as familiar on our telly
and radio as any homegrown talent.
Never afraid to let her
motormouth go, she plays up to the
British stereotype of the outspoken
American, yet her searing wit is so
unlike that of her home country,
she’s a naturalised Brit.
Here’s more about the actor,
writer, director, comedian, and now
mental health campaigner...
She was born Ruby Wachs to Polish
Jewish parents who had fled Austria
in 1939 for America. Her father was a
wealthy sausage manufacturer.
She is classically trained and
internationally renowned as an
actor, director and writer. Having
said that, after starting out in the
late 70s with the RSC, she went on to
appear briefly as a secretary in that
cinematic classic Omen III: The Final
Conflict, but we all make mistakes.
Her long-standing writing and directing
partner is the great classical actor (and
Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films)
Alan Rickman.
Her 1990s BBC series Ruby Wax Meets,
in which she managed to persuade
celebrities to open their homes and
their hearts to her, was telly gold. The
editions featuring Pamela Anderson,
Imelda Marcos and Sarah, Duchess of
York remain classics.
She has branded her 1994 interview
with Madonna as her “most miserable
showbiz experience”, explaining that the
singer did not appreciate Wax putting
her (Madonna’s) knickers on her head for
comic effect. “She hasn’t called me since,”
Wax has said.
A respected campaigner on mental
health issues, Wax’s new one-woman
show, Sane New World, explores the
ways in which human beings sabotage
their sanity and offers tips to survive
the 21st Century.
She’s got 92,400 followers on Twitter and
follows just 424 twitterers, including NASA,
Dame Edna Everidge, and the Mill Volvo
Tyne Theatre.

THE RIGHT
STUFF
WE CATCH UP WITH JAMAL EDWARDS, FOUNDER OF SBTV AND
THE FACE OF NE1’S NEWCASTLE MUSIC WEEK
From a council estate teenager with
a video camera and big dreams
to millionaire media mogul, Jamal
Edwards, 23, has revolutionised the
way young people access music via his
online channel SBTV.
The face of NE1’s Newcastle Music
Week from October 25-31, he is an
internationally renowned innovator and
youth spokesman, who was once dubbed
the ‘Urban Richard Branson’. Edwards has
been the face of Puma, appeared in an ad
for Google Chrome, launched the career of
Ed Sheeran and featured on the cover of
The Economist. Here’s more..
What are you most looking forward to
during NE1’s Newcastle Music Week?
Getting an insight into the talent in
Newcastle through the UGOT On the Right
Tracks talent search, and bringing SBTV to
the city. I’ll also be at Space2; telling young
people how to follow their dreams.
Why is Music Week important? Music
is a huge part of culture and should be
celebrated. This is a great opportunity to
celebrate our musicians.
How’s Newcastle’s music scene doing
these days? The city is alive with music.
There are a lot of talented artists out there
who can follow in the footsteps of Sting,
The Lighthouse family and even Jimi
Hendrix, who in his early days performed
on the streets of Newcastle.
How do you spend your spare time?
Music is my life. Even when I’m away from
work I’m listening to music.
What was the first record you bought?
Sex Packets by Digital Underground. I listen
to all genres of music; it just depends on
my mood.
Has your taste in music changed over
the years? I used to listen to a lot of grime
and rap. As I’ve grown up, I’ve learned to
appreciate talent across genres.
How might your friends describe you?
Hard working, dedicated - and crazy!
I’m meeting you for the first time, how
do I recognise you? I have an addiction to
hats and trainers. I think I have more than
400 hats. You’ll spot the hat and the fresh
pair of kicks and know it’s me.
What would your superpower be?
To go back in time and see Amy
Winehouse and Michael Jackson a few
more times. That would be amazing.

The truth is, life isn’t easy

And Wonderful in 2002 through to
his last tour, the record-breaking
Roadrunner in 2011. For those who
haven’t seen Evans before, a word
of warning: If you’re in the front row
you might want to wear something
waterproof…he sweats. A lot!

HIT THE ROAD MACK
Beware comedy fans, Lee Mack is back on tour
after four years and he’s built up a barrage of
insults and abuse just for you, his audience.
The star of Not Going Out and Would I Lie
To You returns with his trademark high-energy
banter and sharp one liners. An expert in audience
manipulation, he has a put-down for every
occasion, Keep your mouth shut, and you’ll be fine.
City Hall, November 5-8, £27.50

WHAT A NIDIOT
TOTAL RECALL
The ever-cheery Jon Richardson is back on the
road with his new show Nidiot, which follows
a string of TV appearances including as team
captain on Channel 4’s 8 out of 10 Cats.
A misanthropic soul, we’re told Richardson is
still single but determined to change his ways and
become more easy going person for the sake of his
friends and his future health. His new show explores
whether a leopard can change its spots, or if it is
doomed to be angry forever having not been given
a more uniform and symmetrical pattern to wear.
City Hall, November 1, £19.50

If you’re a fan of TV comedy it may come as a
surprise that Sara Pascoe (Stand Up For the
Week, Live at the Apollo, QI) has just embarked
on her first UK tour.
The tour, entitled Sara Pascoe Vs History,
showcases her ability to leap from stimulating
arguments to abstract confabulation, from
existential theory and cultural insights on wars,
witches and Kim Yong-Il to recalling her romantic
history. All of which, Pascoe says, shapes who we
are today.
