Amy Ruffle Launches Sauna Sessions Interview Series with Australian Comedians

Key facts

• Amy Ruffle hosts Sauna Sessions, a new interview series featuring Australian comedians in a sauna.
• Ruffle was diagnosed with two benign brain tumours and was prescribed saunas by her neurologist to reduce head pressure and alleviate symptoms.
• The idea for the show came from bizarre and fascinating conversations Ruffle had with strangers in saunas, where higher temperatures lowered inhibitions.
• A favourite question Ruffle asks is 'Can you stand backwards on a staircase?' which she says breaks every guest's brain.
• Nina Oyama's eyeliner was a standout guest for remaining smudge-proof under heat and sweat.
• Ruffle chose Sean Evans over Amelia Dimoldenberg for a hypothetical interview, citing the physical and mental challenge of eating hot wings in a hot box.
• Ruffle once consumed three-quarters of a tub of vitamin gummies for stronger and shinier hair, exceeding the maximum dosage of two per day, and suffered zinc poisoning.
• Sauna Sessions can be viewed on YouTube or Spotify by searching 'sauna sessions show', and updates are on Instagram and TikTok at @saunasessionsshow.
