So Ruby Wax has now joined the Wimbledon Panto cast list!!! She will be opening the show for the first week, with the next celebrity joining the week after!!
She used to have a late night show on Fridays at the old Donmar in the 80s at 11pm. No set act,she used to come on stage with a bottle of wine or what eve she fancied that night-sometimes whiskey or gin. She would sit there, talking, putting on full make up and getting drunk. By the end of the show she had rollered her hair and removed the make up. A great evening which I saw 5 or 6 times.
