Susan Calman ‘Cheer Up, Love’ Book Launch

Nothing makes me happier than talking about depression. Packed with stories, humour and a bit of the serious stuff, I will literally write the book on how it feels to be told “Cheer up, Love,” Susan Calman

Book Launch of Susan Calman’s, Cheer Up, Love: Adventures in depression with the Crab of Hate, and In Conversation with Muriel Gray on Friday 13th May, 6pm to 7.30pm

We are pleased to welcome Susan Calman back to Glasgow Women’s Library for the launch of her new book Cheer Up, Love. Muriel Gray will be In Conversation with Susan discussing her new book, there’ll be refreshments on offer, and the event also brings you the chance to purchase your own copy.

Susan Calman is a well known comedian and writer who has appeared on countless radio and television programmes. Her solo stand up show, Susan Calman is Convicted, was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and dealt with subjects like the death penalty, appearance and depression.

The reaction to the show she wrote about mental health was so positive that she wanted to expand on the show and write a more detailed account of surviving when you’re the world’s most negative person.

The Crab of Hate is the personification of Calman’s depression and her version of the notorious Black Dog. A constant companion in her life, the Crab has provided her with the best, and very worst of times. This is a very personal memoir of how, after many years and with a lot of help and talking, she has embraced her dark side and realised that she can be the most joyous sad person you’ll ever meet.
