Susan Morrison

"Susan Morrison - the Glaswegian wit for whom the word feisty was invented" Scotland on Sunday

Don't be fooled by the diminutive frame. Within that 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 female perspective on life, motherhood, shopping and shipping, Susan's broad appeal transcends the sexes and unites audiences in hysterical laughter.

As well as her comedy club work, Susan's former experience as a marketing guru 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 has been a frequent contributor to BBC Radio Scotland. Following her long-running stint on "The Fred MacAulay Show", she has recently written and recorded her own six part series "Pure Food".

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.
It is 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.
