Media executive turned stand-up comedian, Cally Beaton is now a favourite on BBC Two’s QI, and regular contributor to The Apprentice: You’re Fired, as well as Radio 4’s The Now Show, The Unbelievable Truth and Saturday Live. She’s an eloquent natural story-teller – a rollercoaster ride of anecdotes, observations and stuff even your best mate wouldn’t admit to –  majoring on the life, loves and trials of a 50-something woman.  And it’s quite a life.  She didn’t take to the stage until her mid-40s, inspired by a chance encounter with the late, great Joan Rivers, having been a high-flying media executive including a stint as Senior Vice-President at the US Studio giant CBSViacom (if you want someone to blame for bringing South Park and SpongeBobSquarePants into the world then look no further…). 

She’s also a writer and podcaster (creating Namaste, Motherf***ers, an unlikely but hilarious collision of self-help, business and comedy) and her regular TikTok on-location mini-confessionals are a delight.  And who wouldn’t love a character who named her 2017 debut Edinburgh show Super Cally Fragile Lipstick… 

Packing a support act, Louis Green as compere and sets from rising stars into the evening, the first Aldeburgh Comedy Club of the year is full of the joys of Spring. 

“A comedy queen – fiery, intelligent and totally original” Sara Pascoe, Comedian & Actor 

“Cally Beaton is an exciting and hilarious talent, definitely one to watch. Sometimes you just know when someone’s got it – and she’s got it” Time Out 

The performance ends approx. 9.45pm (including two intervals)
