She appeared in Channel 4 sketch shows and was one of the relief presenters for Fred MacAulay on his BBC Radio Scotland show MacAulay and Co which ran until March 2015. She has also appeared in Rab C. Nesbitt. Calman is a regular at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and at The Stand Comedy Club. Other television work includes presenting the CBBC programme Extreme School and providing the comic voiceover on the CBBC series Disaster Chefs. She played the "sandwich lady" frequently throughout Series 5 of Dani's House, and presented a quiz show called The Lie on STV. She is currently a team captain on the BBC Northern Ireland comedy panel show Bad Language. Since 2016, she has hosted the children's game show on CBBC, Top Class.

Calman went to a fee-paying independent school, The High School of Glasgow, and then went on to study law at the University of Glasgow, winning a Judge Brennan scholarship and a three-month stint in North Carolina working with criminals on death row. During her seven-year career in corporate law, she gradually became dissatisfied with working as a specialist in freedom of information and data protection and developed her stand-up comedy during evenings, eventually giving up her job with Dundas & Wilson to develop her career in comedy.
