3 Seann Walsh: Back From the Bed
Scarborough Spa, Friday, May 24 at 7.30pm
“Hello, Seann here. Did you know that comedians have to write their own blurb? I find that absolutely insane. What am I meant to say? “I’m fantastic, come and look at me talk”? I don’t know. It’s me. I do stand-up.
”I guess I can start with the fact I renamed the tour. Sticking with Same Again? felt a bit triggering after the past few years we’ve had. So it is now called Back from the Bed. Some of the material will be the same as I had always planned and some of it will be new because it will be difficult to avoid mentioning the last few years in which millions of decent people tragically lost their lives to TikTok.
“The previous leg of this tour got a lot of standing ovations, which was pleasing. Either that or they were leaving early. Come along if you like me. I’d be confident enough to say come along if you’re on the fence. Cheers.” Seann has starred in The Stand Up Sketch Show, Netflix’s Flinch, Live At The Apollo, Tonight at The London Palladium and Celebrity Juice.
