REVIEW: Susie McCabe - Femme Fatality | Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023


"A superb show packed with defiance, wisdom, and gags galore!"

Packing out the Assembly George Square venue at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe is the incredible storyteller and cracking comic with her new show, Susie McCabe: Femme Fatality.


With her wit and dry Glaswegian humour, McCabe delivers an hour of throwback tales of her life and the societal impressions and representations (or lack thereof) for a lesbian coming from the East End of Glasgow.


From the get-go, the audience in the palm of her hand. From funny anecdotes to top drawer punchlines, McCabe’s banter and laidback demeanour entices wave after wave of giggles and guffaws from the crowd.


Susie McCabe: Femme Fatality is a superb show packed with defiance, wisdom, and gags galore!

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE

For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.


From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.


The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.


The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.


There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
