Susan Calman is certainly a very gifted and deft storyteller; she charms and entices her audience into her very funny stories of domestic bliss (or mild unrest) but, more impressively, she allows a glimpse into the darker sides of her thoughts without it becoming awkward or fumbling. It was her bare honesty and heartfelt passion that drew me towards her two years ago. Unfortunately I feel that some of that is lost in her show this year, but that doesn't stop this show from being an entertaining hour in the company of a very funny and talented stand-up comedian.
