About
Sure, life’s hard - but not as hard as it is for Seann Walsh.
After his hit UK tour Back From The Bed, one of Britain’s best comedians is back, bringing his signature blend of chaos and charm in a brand-new, anxiety-soaked hour. Welcome to This is Torture!
Audiences can expect the very best from a comedian at the top of his game as Seann brings his trademark mix of chaos, charm and painfully funny honesty to the stage.
About Seann Walsh
Seann Walsh has become one of the UK’s most recognisable and respected comedians. Over the years, he’s made countless appearances on television, including Live at the Apollo (three times), The Wheel, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Last Leg, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, World’s Most Dangerous Roads, Battle in the Box, and, of course, Series 22 of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Away from television, Seann has built an impressive podcasting portfolio. Alongside Jack Dee, he co-hosts Oh My Dog!, where they chat with guests about the special bond they share with their dogs. His podcast Class Clown has quickly climbed the charts, blending nostalgia, honesty and insight as Seann sits down with the boldest rule-breakers in entertainment to explore the personal battles that shaped them.
And with Paul McCaffrey, he co-hosts What’s Upset You Now?, a hilarious and cathartic trip to the pub where the two let off steam and put the world to rights.
