A car breaking down when you’re hours away from an important Edinburgh fringe warm-up gig might sound like the start of an entertaining bit for most comedians, but for the Glaswegian comic Susie McCabe it was the start of a story that led to her being whisked to an intensive care unit (ICU).
McCabe, 44, who has become one of Scotland’s most prominent comedians since taking up the profession at 30, was having her car fixed after a gig in the market town of Chipping Sodbury, just outside Bristol, when she started to have chest pains.
