2016 Edinburgh Fringe
Susan Calman: The Calman Before the Storm
You may know Susan from QI, Have I Got News For You, The News Quiz, or Mock the Week, now she's back at the Fringe with a brand new hour of comedy. Be prepared - there's a storm coming, and it's in the form of a tiny lady with nothing to lose. A show you'll enjoy if you're 16+, like what she does, and won't be so drunk that she has to throw you out. Sounds like a terrible personal ad doesn't it? She also likes fine wines, kittens and walks along the beach. It's going to be epic.

Susan Calman is a face you will almost certainly recognise from various panel shows including Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week, as well as being a Radio 4 regular. A self-confessed cat-lover, Calman is unafraid to turn the mockery in her own direction, making her comedy all the more open and silly, but with a sharp wit driving it. Susan Calman is performing her show The Calman Before The Storm at this year's Edinburgh Festival.
