About this show
After a health scare at 44, Susie was on the path to a stress-free life... then her life came crashing down around her. Interspersed with hot flushes and the state of the world: it's been quite a year for this comic, but she is still standing and determined to have her say in Coming of Rage. 'I was blown sideways' (Billy Connolly). 'Susie McCabe is one to watch' (New York Times). 'This woman should be considered a national treasure' (Herald). 'Fearful, thoughtful, compassionate and warm stand up for Scotland's funniest woman' (Scotsman).

What the reviewers said
We have captured 3 published reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
The rage emerges, finally, and perhaps predictably, as soon as she begins a section about politics and Parliament, on the back of remarks made by certain people at a family gathering.
— Theatre in Edinburgh (4 out of 5 stars)
The Gordon Aikman Theatre is a huge space and it truly takes a huge personality to engulf it. Fortunately, Susie McCabe is on board so that potential problem is solved.
— One4Review (5 out of 5 stars)
McCabe is a naturally gifted storyteller and had the audience completely with her all night.
