"This is one of the most individual, accomplished, hilarious and unforgettable hours I have had this year."  The Scotsman
"His talent for comedy is priceless."  Evening Standard

Charming and charismatic, a natural motor-mouth, Brighton's Seann Walsh is the most frighteningly precocious talent to emerge from the UK comedy circuit in ages.

Within two years of his first comedy performance in 2007, Seann became the winner of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year. Shortly after, other accolades included Chortle Best Breakthrough Act. Star of BBC1's Live at the Apollo, Channel 4's Stand Up For The Week and Dave's Argumental delivers an all-new hour of "Sharp, creative observational comedy from a precocious newcomer. See him now, before the stadium tour"  Sunday Times
"...with the looks, gags and charm to become something quite special, Walsh is this generation's Dylan Moran"  Time Out

"Seann Walsh is an extremely funny man - so don't miss the opportunity to see him on tour."  The Sun
