WILOSOPHY: Amy Ruffle - "Don't Eat a Burrito in the Steam Room"

Wil sits down with actor, comedian, and improviser Amy Ruffle for a hilarious and moving conversation about resilience, creative growth, and finding your voice.

Amy opens up about her life-altering diagnosis of two benign brain tumours blocking her brain's drainage system, which forced her to sleep upright, sauna daily, and ultimately served as the catalyst to stop making excuses and pursue solo stand-up comedy.

Then we get into exploring the transition from team-based improv to the vulnerability of solo storytelling, the mechanics behind Amy's vodcast Sauna Sessions (and the bizarre public sauna behaviour she's witnessed, like steam-room burritos), and why authentic human connection on stage matters more than ever.

In 2027 make sure to see Amy at MICF and at Adelaide Fringe.
