This wee Glaswegian has made the journey all the way from Dennistoun for the Fringe. Newly married, Susie McCabe takes us through the posh out-of-character things she’s done in the past year, including staying at Edinburgh’s Balmoral Hotel, starting a ‘self-improvement journey’ and shopping at Waitrose (a class betrayal like no other). Her anecdotal gags are unmatched, and her sell-out audience just can’t get enough. McCabe’s playful jabs at Edinburgh and the middle classes (as a true Glaswegian should) are hilarious, and genius callbacks make for unstoppable laughs.

After a continuous run of brilliant jokes, she shares some spoken word that powerfully closes the show, criticising the previous Tory government and questioning the intentions of its replacement. She knows she has a platform and is not afraid to use it. What’s perhaps most admirable about McCabe is the way she carries herself throughout a sometimes challenging performance. She politely requests the crowd don’t use their phones and offers a deaf audience member free tickets to a separate captioned show. She also nonchalantly mentions her heart attack that she had just three weeks prior (‘but that’s next year’s stand-up’). Susie McCabe keeps proving that she’s a force to be reckoned with.
