Susan Calman at The MAC, Belfast

Music
08 Dec 16

Following a total sell-out Fringe run before the Fringe had even started, swiftly followed by a sell-out two-week run at London’s Soho Theatre, one of Scotland’s and Radio 4’s most beloved comedians is ready to tour her newest show The Calman Before the Storm.

Having worked on Death Row and at the United Nations in Geneva as a former corporate lawyer, Susan decided to give up her promising career to become a comedian in 2006 when she reached the semi-finals of the BBC New Comedy and So You Think You’re Funny Awards. In 2007 she was part of sell-out Fringe show Ugly Kid which went on to become Channel 4’s Blowout and whose cast was awarded a Scottish BAFTA that same year.

Her numerous radio credits include The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, Now Show, Dilemma, ISIHAC, So Wrong it’s Right and she has presented Woman’s Hour, all for Radio 4. She also hosted Listomania for Radio 2. A second series of her sitcom Sisters will be recorded in the autumn and her third solo radio series, Keep Calman and Carry On, was broadcast in spring 2016.

Susan Calman will be coming to Belfast on February 5. Find out more details on her website: www.susancalman.com
