"Glasgow-born comic Susan Calman is a dead-cert-one-to-watch; she's got an infectious bubbly manner but a caustic edge too, and both can yield comedy gold".

Susan Calman used to be a corporate lawyer but in 2006 she decided to give it all up to be a comedian. She reached the semi-finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards and 'So You Think You're Funny' and was a finalist in the prestigious 'Funny Women' competition in 2006. She won 'Best New Comedian' at The Real Radio Scottish Variety Awards and Best MC at the Chortle awards in 2012.

In 2007 Susan was cast in 'Ugly Kid', a sketch show which was a sell-out at the Edinburgh Festival and following critical acclaim, was commissioned as a pilot for Channel 4. The show was renamed 'Blowout' and the cast went on to be awarded a Scottish BAFTA that same year.

On Radio 4 Susan has appeared on The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, Now Show, Dilemma, So Wrong it's Right and presented Woman's Hour. She regularly presented Macaulay and Co on Radio Scotland and has even appeared on "And the Winner is" with Matt Lucas on BBC Radio2.
