When Susie McCabe became the first performer to sell out the Glasgow International Comedy Festival in 2017, she set in motion a trajectory that would see her become one of Scotland's most beloved comedians and, in 2024, the recipient of the Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow award, personally chosen by the comedy legend himself. Her ability to weave brilliant storytelling with acute observations and killer punchlines has made her a festival favourite year after year, with six consecutive sell-out shows at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival and multiple sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe. Her latest show, The Merchant of Menace, won Best New Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival in 2024 and is set to return to Edinburgh Fringe in 2026, cementing her reputation as one of the UK's most sought-after performers.

Susie's career has been built on a foundation of consistent excellence across Scotland's comedy scene and beyond. A regular headliner and compere at leading venues including The Stand and Jongleurs, she has supported some of the biggest names in British comedy on their national tours, including Kevin Bridges, Frankie Boyle, John Bishop, Jason Manford, Ardal O'Hanlon and Stewart Francis. Her ability to command stages of all sizes, from intimate comedy clubs to major theatres like the Glasgow King's Theatre where she has sold out three shows, demonstrates her versatility and audience appeal. The recognition from Sir Billy Connolly himself underscores not only her technical skill but also her authentic connection to Glasgow's rich comedic tradition, a lineage she honours whilst making entirely her own.
