Susan Calman: Tall Tales

Susan Calman: Tall Tales tickets and regional UK dates

Susan Calman returns to live stand-up for the first time in a decade with Tall Tales, a brand-new two-hour show drawing on a run of improbable real-life situations, including cruising holidays, driving tanks, cats and getting older, with the possibility of some dancing along the way.

What the show is about

Tall Tales is a stand-up comedy show built around personal storytelling. Calman mines an eclectic set of experiences for material, covering ocean cruises, armoured vehicles, cats and the realisations that come with ageing. She also flags that audiences who know her from television may be surprised by quite how short she is in person.

She has appeared on Grand Day Out, Cruising with Susan Calman, QI, House of Games and, as she puts it, a long time ago, Strictly Come Dancing. Live performance is presented as the most direct way to encounter her work.

Practical information

The show carries age guidance of 14+ and a running time of around two hours. Sunderland Empire lists a BSL-interpreted performance; select the designated performance when booking and contact other venues about their own access arrangements.

Choosing your tickets
