An hour of torture awaits with Seann Walsh in Milton Keynes
‘It’s unbearable having to go to another thing,’ says comic
Award-winning comedian and “class clown” Seann Walsh is bringing his new show to Milton Keynes – and his trademark high-energy exasperation is reflected in its potentially offputting title.
Seann has has decided to name the show after the thing he says the most in life - This Is Torture. He promises to bring his signature blend of chaos and charm in the brand-new, “anxiety-soaked” hour of comedy.
He said: “I’m excited to announce I’m back on tour. I know - it’s unbearable having to go to another thing. Remember it’s a thing I have to go to as well. We can share the pain together and on the upside, you get to laugh and I get to offload without being overcharged by my therapist. I look forward to seeing you there.”
Seann Walsh has become one of the UK’s most recognisable and respected comedians. The Guardian called him “unquestionably the best observational comic of his generation”, with the London Standard describing him as “one of comedy’s hottest properties… very talented, very funny”. 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 worked extensively on podcasts. 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 comical and cathartic trip to the pub where the two let off steam and put the world to rights.
Seann has also found huge success on YouTube, where his self-produced stand-up specials Back From The Bed, Kiss, and Seann Walsh is Dead, Happy Now? have together racked up over a million views.
In addition to his comedy, Seann has made waves as an actor. His screen credits include The Lovebox in Your Living Room, Clown, and The Bystanders—a performance that earned him the award for Best Actor (Feature Film) at the 2023 Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival. In 2024, he took to the stage for his Shakespearean debut as Malvolio in Twelfth Night at Stafford Gatehouse, before taking on the role of Yvan in a regional UK tour of the multi-award-winning play Art.
