Ruth Jones Audiobooks

Ruth Jones, born in 1966, is a Welsh actress, comedian, writer and producer, and one half of the writing partnership behind one of the best-loved British sitcoms of the century. She co-wrote and co-starred in the BBC’s Gavin & Stacey, which ran from 2007 and returned for celebrated specials in 2019 and 2024, winning her the BAFTA Award for Best Female Comedy Performance in 2025. She also co-wrote and starred in the Sky One comedy-drama Stella, earning BAFTA and BAFTA Cymru nominations.

Her screen career stretches well beyond her own creations, taking in Fat Friends, Little Britain, Nighty Night, Saxondale, Little Dorrit and The Street. She was appointed MBE in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to entertainment – recognition of a career built on warm, precisely observed comedy.

The ear for dialogue that made Gavin & Stacey sing carries straight into Jones’s books, and dialogue is exactly what audio rewards. In our catalogue, Never Greener and By Your Side offer her brand of emotionally honest storytelling – ordinary lives rendered with real affection and no condescension – while When Gavin Met Stacey and Everything in Between is the obvious treat for fans of the sitcom itself.

For UK listeners, Jones is comfort listening with substance: funny, humane and unmistakably rooted in the rhythms of how British people actually speak.
