Don't be fooled by the diminutive frame.
Within this pint-sized exterior lies a talent so huge that it can
barely be contained. Susan Morrison is a comedy volcano,
erupting with an endless flow of scorching hot gags, spewing forth at
a blistering pace.
Whether performing her own solo act or hosting
The Stand's big weekend gigs in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Susan is in
a class of her own when it comes to quick-fire wit. A forty-something
mother of two, Susan mixes real-life experiences, topical
observations, audience interaction and Glasgow style storytelling to
spellbinding effect. Presenting her own perspective on life,
motherhood, shopping and shipping, Susan's broad appeal transcends the
sexes and unites audiences in hysterical laughter.
Susan's former experience as a marketing foot soldier in a telecoms
firm makes her a natural choice for corporate gigs. And with her
quick-thinking, fast-talking, no nonsense approach on all manner of
subjects - from showbiz trivia to political hot potatoes - Susan is a
frequent contributor to BBC Radio Scotland. In addition to regular
appearances on the ‘The Fred MacAulay Show’, she has recently
presented BBC radio documentaries on subjects as diverse as the
history of toilets (‘On The Throne’) and the positive effects
of laughter (‘Laughter - the Best Medicine’).
Having headlined clubs throughout Scotland and northern England - from
Chester to Carlisle - Susan launched herself onto the Edinburgh Fringe
with her own show in 2001, ‘My Life With The Titanic’. A
self-confessed obsessive, her love of the famous liner translated into
a huge critical success and audience hit, despite the seeming lack of
humour in the subject matter. No less impressive was her trawl through
Edinburgh’s murky past with her 2002 solo Fringe show, ‘Auld
Reekie’s Oxters’. It’s no mean feat to raise laughs out of such
hopelessly lost causes. But that's Susan Morrison for you - never
taking the easy route, but always reaching the most hilarious
destinations.
Susan went from strength-to-strength in 2003, using her energetic
brand of comedy to good effect as warm-up artist for a succession of
BBC TV recordings and her sharp, cutting satire in the popular live
topical comedy show, ‘A Kick Up The Tabloids’. Susan has also
wowed the audiences in major festivals including key appearances at
the
Glasgow International Comedy Festival and hosting ‘Best of
Scottish’ at the Edinburgh Fringe in both 2003 and 2004 - A big, big
talent in an unfeasibly small frame.
Presenter of the Grampian TV
series 'Where's Your Head At', Susan is now branching out with a new
venture, co-presenting 'The Morning Show' on Talk 107,
Edinburgh's new talk radio station.
