Suzi Ruffell Announced as Host of the BOSS Awards 2026

Award-winning comedian, broadcaster and bestselling author Suzi Ruffell will host the BOSS Awards 2026, bringing her trademark wit, warmth and infectious energy to one of the workplace supplies industry’s most anticipated nights of the year.

With five sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a nomination for Best Stand-Up Show at the National Comedy Awards, Suzi has established herself as one of the UK’s most respected and sought-after comedians.

A familiar face on television, she has appeared on Live At The Apollo, The Jonathan Ross Show, The Last Leg, Mock The Week and There’s Something About Movies. Her BBC stand-up special Keeping It Classy reached a huge online audience, with clips from the show attracting more than 44 million views. She was also nominated for Outstanding Female Comedy Entertainment Performance at the National Comedy Awards for her hosting role on Comedy Central’s Yesterday, Today & The Day Before.

Suzi is no stranger to high-profile events, having hosted red carpet coverage for both the BAFTAs and The International Booker Prize. Alongside her television work, she is a regular voice on Virgin Radio, has presented Explicable Me for BBC Radio 2, and frequently appears on BBC Radio 4 programmes including The Now Show and The News Quiz.

She is also a highly successful podcaster, co-hosting Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen, as well as her own acclaimed podcast OUT With Suzi Ruffell, which celebrates LGBT+ lives and experiences through conversations with a wide range of high-profile guests. Football fans may know her from the hugely popular Big Kick Energy podcast, co-hosted with fellow comedian Maisie Adam, which has led to sold-out live shows and pitch-side commentary opportunities with UEFA.

In 2025, Suzi’s debut book, Am I Having Fun Now? became an instant Sunday Times bestseller. She is currently touring her latest stand-up show, The Juggle, across the UK and internationally.

The BOSS Awards celebrate the exceptional businesses, teams and individuals driving success, innovation and excellence across the workplace supplies industry. Bringing together hundreds of industry professionals each year, the awards recognise outstanding achievement and provide a platform to celebrate the very best our sector has to offer.

The BOSS Awards 2026 will take place on the 26th of November at The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, welcoming those from across the workplace supplies sector for an evening of recognition, networking and celebration.
