Susan Calman has an impish and waspish
sense of humour. Being tiny and dressed in a black outfit with a
yellow tie made me think of these words as fitting for her style of
comedy which is funny from the two starts she made right to the
finish.
Before doing stand up, she worked for seven
years as a corporate lawyer, keeping her viewpoints under wraps.
Now, freed from such restrictions, her uninhibited thoughts and
ideas pour out in profusion, some good but some questionable.
Personal relationships with her partner, parents and friends are at
the heart of her show. She also has a big relationship with food.
She just loves it.
She maybe diminutive in size, but she has a
huge personality and she is attracting a big following even in a mid
afternoon slot. She has an ability to make people laugh – timing,
good material. It is all there.
