Susie McCabe is a Scottish comedian who transforms everyday observations into comedy gold through her engaging delivery and cleverly constructed punchlines that connect with audiences of all backgrounds.

Something we've not covered here?

How do I book Susie McCabe for my next event?

To book Susie McCabe for your event, email susie.mccabe@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you ASAP to confirm Susie McCabe's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.

What is Susie McCabe's stage presence like?

Susie McCabe draws on personal experience as the structural backbone of her stand-up, converting real-life events — including a heart attack — into observational material that moves between self-deprecation and broader commentary on ageing and everyday life. Her 2024 show Merchant of Menace is a clear example of this format, building a full hour around a single lived episode with thematic coherence rather than a loose set of unrelated material.

What topics does Susie McCabe focus on?

Susie McCabe performs stand-up comedy in the observational and autobiographical formats, drawing on personal experience and everyday life, and suits corporate events, awards evenings, and general audience entertainment. She has appeared on BBC's Have I Got News for You and Frankie Boyle's New World Order, and has supported John Bishop and Ardal O'Hanlon on national tours.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No, PepTalk doesn't charge a booking fee. You pay the speaker's fee plus any travel and expenses, which PepTalk confirms upfront in your quote. The shortlist, contracting and event-day logistics are included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

PepTalk sends a shortlist of matched speakers within 24 hours, each with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. The more you share about your date, audience, format, objectives and budget, the closer the match. Once you choose, PepTalk handles the contract, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range on a PepTalk speaker profile is a guide to what that speaker usually costs for an in-person event in their home market, shown in their local currency. The final fee depends on format, location, date and session length. Virtual and shorter sessions usually cost less, and international travel and peak dates cost more. PepTalk confirms the exact fee in your currency once it has your brief.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

No. PepTalk represents 15,000+ speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers, some booked directly and others through their agents and agencies worldwide. The process is the same for all of them: PepTalk checks availability, negotiates the fee and manages the contract and logistics.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Book a speaker three to six months before your event. Allow 12 months for large conferences, peak-season dates or a specific in-demand name. PepTalk also fills last-minute and replacement bookings, often within days, so get in touch as soon as you have a date, even at short notice.
