Victorious Voices is a collaborative exhibition led by Carron Carson, clinical supervisor and psychotherapist, and Dr Dougie Marks, School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. The exhibition is part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival and the launch will include a talk from artist Lee Cooper and presentation on trauma informed care. About the exhibition: In recent years we have seen a shift towards trauma informed care, and it is currently at the forefront of political agendas. However, despite these efforts child sexual abuse remains an invisible and isolating experience for survivors. It is with this in mind we have collated art from a range of individuals who have disclosed child sexual abuse. This exhibition will display personal images from survivors ranging from pre-school through to retirement age and is a collaboration with Victorious Voices, a photography project aimed at breaking the silence around sexual abuse. It is hoped through sharing survivor images and narratives that the exhibition can expose the hidden depth of child sexual abuse, and what victims are doing to be visible in their disclosure journey.

Susie McCabe’s career has been so stratospheric in recent years, she’s indisputably one of the biggest acts working in Scottish comedy today. Having made multiple TV appearances including Have I Got News for You, Live At The Apollo, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Question Time, she’s also had a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show and a triple-sell out run at the legendary King’s Theatre in Glasgow. Even with multiple Scottish Comedy Awards under her belt, she had to make room on her shelf for one more when in 2024 she was awarded the Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award, with the accolade presented by the Big Yin himself via video link. “I was blown sideways!” – Billy Connolly “A naturally funny storyteller and a genuine stand up. Highly recommended.” - Kevin Bridges “Susie is up there with the best.” - Fred MacAulay “Susie McCabe is damn funny.” - Stewart Francis “McCabe is hilariously down to earth and has a fantastically positive outlook. About as far down the opposite end of the spectrum from disappointing as you could get.” - Broadway Baby “The ever-reliable Susie McCabe delivers plenty of chuckles.” - The Scotsman “Prepare to laugh yourself silly.” - Three Weeks Doors open at 7:30pm, show starts at 8pm.No late admission **ALSO IMPORTANT** • Tickets can be refunded no less than 24 hours before the show. • Line-ups can be subject to change at short notice. • This show is in two parts separated by one interval. There will be 30 minutes from the host and support acts, followed by a 15 minute interval, and then Susie will be on for one hour uninterrupted. • Don’t talk or heckle during the performances. This rule is NOT optional. It is very distracting for both the performer and other audience members. Some performers (usually the host) might talk to the audience, but otherwise please let the comedians do the talking. Heckling does not ‘help the show’. Think of it like cinema rules: laughter, cheers, applause are all great, but talking or yelling out is not. And another cinema rule… • Please put your phone on silent. Photos are fine but please no video or flash photography. • If your chair is not facing the stage when you come in, please rotate it when the show starts. • These shows are for people aged 18 and over. You may be asked to show ID if you do not look of age. • Craicfriars Comedy does not necessarily agree or disagree with the opinions and viewpoints expressed by the comedians. Acts are booked based on their ability to make people laugh, beyond that we respect freedom of expression. If you disagree or are offended by what you hear, you are free to express this by not laughing, by leaving, or by respectfully raising your objections with the act after the show or via social media. You may not interrupt an on-going performance. • Exceptions to rules are at the discretion of Craicfriars Comedy. Audience members who repeatedly break these rules will be asked to leave.
