Susan Calman is one of Scotland's rising stars in the world of comedy. After seven years of being a corporate lawyer, Susan decided to try her hand at stand-up comedy. Just over a year after her first gig she decided that being a comedian was much more fun and gave up her glamorous career to try and make people laugh.

Susan is now a regular compere at the Stand comedy clubs in Glasgow and Edinburgh where she is the resident host of the monthly show “Sistars”. In the course of her hundreds of gigs she has performed at the Comedy Store in London and Manchester and was a finalist in the Funny Women competition in 2006. She hosted 'Best of Scottish' during the Edinburgh Festival and has appeared numerous times on Radio Scotland.

Susan performed her one woman show Short Story, to a sell out audience at the Glasgow Comedy Festival in 2006 and has taken a new show to the festival in 2007.

She has written sketches for BBC Radio Scotland’s Watson’s Wind Up and continues to write for numerous radio and television shows. Susan has also appeared in a number of pilot and taster episodes of programmes produced by the Comedy Unit and RDF.

In demand throughout the UK as a compere and host, Susan is also a charismatic speaker and her background and skills make her an ideal choice as an after dinner speaker, or to provide corporate entertainment.
