In support of Comic Relief, The Priory Hospital Glasgow are hosting 'Live at the Priory', a night of comedy and music with Ruby Wax and critically acclaimed folk-jazz musician Judith Owen, on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th February 2010. Ruby Wax and co-star singer/songwriter Judith Owen have both suffered from severe depression in the past. Using comedy and music, Ruby and Judiths' show offers fascinating and thought provoking insights into the world of depression, a condition which around one in five people in the UK will experience at least once in their lifetime. Ruby's inimitable humour and Judith's often poignant songs challenge the preconceptions surrounding depression.
