DateSunday, 4 October 2026
Starts19:30
VenueManchester International Festival
TicketsSee venue

Join stand-up comedian Susan Calman for an evening of barely believable stories, laughter and (probably) dancing Susan Calman hasn’t been on tour in ten years, but now she’s back with Tall Tales – a brand-new show about Cruising, driving tanks, cats and getting older. A decade older, but not necessarily wiser, Susan has found herself in some improbable situations over the years. You might have seen her on the television or heard her on the radio but the absolute best way to see her is live on stage. You won’t believe how short she really is. As seen on Grand Day Out, Cruising with Susan Calman, QI, House of Games and (a long time ago) Strictly Come Dancing.
