'I was so nervous, I peed down my trouser leg!'

THIS WEEK'S COLUMNIST Comedian

-  Ruby Wax

Every day of my life is unexpected. There is no consistency. Not so long ago, I was in Maine, kayaking my reward for working on my play I'm Not as well as I Thought I Was [Ruby is currently completing the last sold-out shows at London's Soho Theatre following a wider tour].

I've also been preparing to teach a six-day retreat at Broughton Sanctuary in Yorkshire, the most beautiful property on the planet. To reward myself for those two jobs, I'm planning a cycling trip along the Amalfi coast. It's like I'm paying myself to have a great life.
