Who is Susie McCabe as Glasgow comedian appears on BBC Debate Night special

BBC Debate Night is returning to our screens tonight (January 25), with the show set to welcome a panel of important guests who will have their say on current issues.

The political audience discussion TV programme is similar to Question Time and is the only television programme of its kind in Scotland.

The panel for the show has just been announced with the likes of Emma Roddick MSP (SNP), writer and historian, Tessa Dunlop, Jackie Ballie MSP (Deputy Leader, Scottish Labour and Healthy, Social Care & Equalities Spokesperson) as well as Sue Webber MSP (Drugs Policy & Mental Wellbeing Spokesperson, Scottish Conservatives) all attending.

In addition to this line-up, Susie McCabe will also be on the show. But who is the Glaswegian comic? Here's what you need to know.

Who is Susie McCabe?

Susie is a Glasgow comedian from Dennistoun who has built herself a very successful career, becoming a known face and voice to many Glaswegians - and beyond.

She is one of the fastest selling acts at the Glasgow international comedy festival and unsurprisingly has won multiple Scottish comedy awards for the likes of Best Headliner and Best Show.

And it wasn't long before she performed at Edinburgh's Fringe for a sold out run back in 2019.

She also recently supported Kevin Bridges on his latest tour during his 16 night run at Glasgow's OVO Hydro, with the comedian calling Susie a "naturally funny storyteller and a genuine stand up."

The 42-year-old comedian regularly takes to social media to talk about what is happening in the city and laughing off some not-so serious topics such as the Scottish weather, with the comedian uploading a video of herself walking in the rain warning of the so-called heatwave we were all expecting, which had Twitter in stitches.

You can watch BBC's Debate Night on BBC Scotland tonight at 10:30pm or on BBC iPlayer.
