The 2024 Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow award winner Susie McCabe is back at the Edinburgh Fringe following a sell-out run at this year’s Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

The past year has been a life-changing one for the comedian. We hear what lead up to a heart attack last Summer, about the lesbian ambulance drivers that helped save her life, and whether she has been able to maintain anything resembling Best Behaviour since.

There are also stories of a relationship breakdown, a family bereavement and, perhaps less seriously, a trip to a hotel all-you-can-eat breakfast bar. Susie explains how one can tell the political leanings of hotel guests by the way they use the toaster.

Beautifully written, expertly delivered, every single line hit. As near a perfect hour of stand-up as you’ll see.

Susie talks about Best Behaviour on Episode 3 of the On the Mic Five a Day podcast.
