FRESH from the first leg of her debut tour, multi award-winning Susan Calman is bringing her hit show Lady Like to Swindon this weekend.

Lady Like is a chance to spend an hour with the woman known as “The Mad Cat Lady” to her neighbours. Calman promises to reassure you, make you feel better about your own life and let you find out what being lady-like really means.

How will she do this? With anecdotes, observations and no-holds-barred honesty - such is the manner of the feisty Scot The Times called a “diminutive lesbian” with “chirpy, optimistic level-headedness.”

But Susan has a confession to make, and it’s a heart-warming one. Through plunging to life’s lowest depths she has, fortunately, come out the other end and wants to share her story. The show is, above all, a call to like ourselves no matter what others say; a journey of self-awareness, self-discovery and – here’s the fun bit – self-indulgence. Indeed, as the lady says: "All of us have mental health issues, it's just that for some of us, our issues make us go more mental than others".

Susan Calman will be at the Arts Centre at 8pm on Sunday, May 31. Tickets are £15. To book call the ticket office on 01793 524 481 or visit swindontheatres.co.uk.
