A number of things have been puzzling me this week. What is going on with adverts for empty Macbook boxes on Gumtree? How do the teams who fix potholes always miss the ones on the roads I drive down? But most of all why isn’t Suzi Ruffell a much, much bigger star?
Ruffell’s latest show Snappy addresses, among numerous other things, her current fame status. The “37-year-old lezza” pithily points out that she is currently at that celebrity level where people recognise her in the street but are not sure if it’s because they’ve seen her on Live at the Apollo or think she was in a family member’s hockey team.
