Welcome to Yorkshire
News • September 8th, 2025
|Ever had a moment that just completely changes your outlook on life? One of those big, stop-you-in-your-tracks events that makes you rethink everything? Well, that's the story behind the brilliant new show from Scottish comedian Susie McCabe.
After an absolutely massive, sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, the award winner is taking her show, Best Behaviour, on the road across the UK and Ireland in 2026. This isn't just another stand-up tour; it's a hilarious, heartfelt look at life after a proper wake-up call, and it's already got people talking, from comedy legends to top critics.

So, who is Susie McCabe?
For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure, Susie McCabe is a Scottish comedian who's been making some serious waves. And it's not just audiences who think she's brilliant. The legendary Billy Connolly himself said, 'I was blown sideways'. When a comedy god like Billy Connolly gives you that kind of praise, you know you're doing something right. She even won the first-ever Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow award, a huge honour in her home country of Scotland.
The critics agree. The Herald went as far as to say, 'This woman should be considered a national treasure'. Think about that for a second. That's a huge statement, putting her up there with the best of the best. Her comedy is described as being full of heart and thought, making people laugh about things that also make them think. She's supported some of the biggest names in the business on their own tours, sharing a stage with comedy giants like Kevin Bridges, Jason Manford, and John Bishop. Basically, she's been playing in the big leagues for a while now, and this tour is her victory lap.
From a health scare to the stage
The past year has been a bit of a rollercoaster for Susie McCabe. Following a heart attack, she had to take a serious look at her life. It's the kind of thing that would knock anyone for six. But for a comedian, it's also material. The new show, Best Behaviour, is all about that. It's about looking at what got her to that point and figuring out what comes next. It's about trying to be on your best behaviour when life throws the worst at you. It's a theme everyone can relate to, even if they haven't faced something quite so dramatic. It's that ability to turn a scary, serious moment into relatable, side-splitting comedy that makes her so special. It's not just jokes; it's storytelling at its finest, fresh from a sell-out run at the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe.
More than just stand-up comedy
It's not just on stage where Susie is making people laugh. Her sharp wit has made her a familiar face on some of the UK's best-loved TV shows. She's appeared on the iconic panel show Have I Got News For You, which is pretty much a stamp of approval for any comedian who is clever, quick, and funny. She's also worked with Frankie Boyle on his New World Order, proving she can hang with the most fearless comics out there. And if you're a fan of podcasts, you might have heard her on the smash-hit podcast Here Comes The Guillotine. It's clear that whether it's on stage, on TV, or in your headphones, Susie McCabe is one of the most exciting voices in comedy right now. This tour is a chance to see a true award winner at the top of her game.
