Google Susan MorrisonAbout Susan Morrison
Susan Morrison takes audiences on a riotous tour of Edinburgh's less respectable past — a world of flying jobbies, bonking bankers and outdoor sex parties. This isn't the history they taught at school. Edinburgh may consider herself superior to her Glaswegian sister, but her own dodgy past tells a different story: world-class courtesans, chamber pots and scandal at every turn. A 60-minute comedy history show at Stand 4, suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
If you've ever suspected Edinburgh's refined reputation is hiding something far grubbier, Susan Morrison is here to confirm it. Funny, filthy and packed with surprising historical detail, this is a comedy history show with genuine bite.
