She’s petite, Glaswegian, likes cats and has been known to collect thimbles.

Now award-winning comedian Susan Calman is embarking on her first ever UK tour, which is visiting the county.

Lady Like comes to Deal’s Astor Theatre this week fresh from a run at the Edinburgh Festival and gives audiences the chance to spend an hour with the hilarious woman known as ‘the mad cat lady’.

Susan promises to make people feel better about their own lives and also to discover what ‘being lady like’ really means.

With plenty of anecdotes, observations, and no-holds-barred honesty, she will perform on Thursday, October 9, at 8pm. Tickets £14. Visit www.theastor.org or call 01304 370220.
