Susan Calman

Tracks Of My Years

Available for 29 days

Comedian and presenter Susan Calman joins Vernon Kay to select her Tracks Of My Years - with an in-depth conversation about her life and choosing ten songs which have soundtracked that time so far. Born in Glasgow in 1974, Susan Calman had a successful career in law for several years before trying stand-up for the first time at 30. After taking several years to earn a living full-time, she quit law and since then has become an established comedian and TV presenter, regularly seen on the likes of QI, as well as hosting a series of travel programmes. In 2017 she took part in the fifteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing, dancing with Kevin Clifton, which she described as “truly the best thing I’ve ever done in my life." Susan married her long-time partner Lee in 2016. Later this year she is heading out on the road for the first time in ten years with her brand-new live show, Tall Tales. A BBC Audio production for BBC Radio 2.
