  • Comic Seann Walsh Reveals His Weird & Wonderful
    COMIC SEANN WALSH REVEALS HIS WEIRD & WONDERFUL WORLD IN NEW TV SERIES ‘Seann Walsh World’ airs on Comedy Central from July Welcome to SEANN WALSH WORLD a brand new 13-part comedy series premiering on Comedy Central this July and starring award-winning stand-up comedian and actor Seann Walsh. Meet Seann, a young, snappily dressed joker who uses everything from sketches to viral hits to illustrate his world. Need a handy lesson in the rules of ‘Banter’? Or could your dirty talk do with a brush up? Then look no further as Seann muses and riffs on the weird and wonderful exploits thrown up by the colourful characters residing on the World Wide Web. From seafaring shenanigans involving near misses with sharks, to super scrimpers fishing flowery anniversary gifts out of bins, Seann mines the digital landscape for the chance to share comedy gold with a live studio audience. Complimenting the cliptastic mayhem each episode features original sketches and never before seen stand-up routines written and performed by Seann. Throughout the show viewers are granted access to the inner workings of a man who thinks Sir David Attenborough should give starving penguins a Twix from the catering van, rather than commenting on the circle of life... Speaking about his new venture Seann said: “We all like to share a funny video clip with our friends when the internet gifts us someone’s truly bonkers exploits and Comedy Central has given me the freedom to share some cracking clips, sketches and stand-up with the people of Britain. Now everyone will have the chance to see a man spit a banana into his dog’s mouth!” Jill Offman, MD Comedy Central UK and SVP International Content, who greenlit the project commented: “Seann Walsh is a perfect fit for Comedy Central.

  • Rich Hall's Hoedown
    RICH HALL’S HOEDOWN AUTUMN 2018 TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED “As close as it gets to a guaranteed good show” – Scotland On Sunday “Blissfully funny” – Guardian Rich Hall and his Hoedown band will continue to delight audiences with this legendary show by extending the tour into autumn 2018. Tickets for an extra 44 dates are now on sale! Rich Hall’s Hoedown autumn tour kicks off with 3 nights at Bristol’s Redgrave Theatre in September and continues until December 2018, including one night at Dublin’s Olympia on 11th November. Please see full listings information below. Tickets are on sale from offthekerb.co.uk. Never has there been a better time to be an American comedian in the UK. Hall’s precision dismantling of the tenuous relationship between the two countries is as freewheeling and deadly accurate as ever. This Hoedown tour begins as a withering dissection of Trump’s America and all of its twists and turns, but ends up in a celebration of Americana. There’s stand-up, improvised ballads, cracking good musicianship, and ultimately a hilarious, foot-stomping, shit-kicking good time to be had by all. Even if you don’t own a hoe. Rich’s most recent critically acclaimed BBC Four documentaries, ‘Rich Hall’s Countrier Than You’ and ‘Rich Hall’s Presidential Grudge Match’, as well as his BBC Radio 4 series ‘Rich Hall’s (US Election) Breakdown’ and ‘Rich Hall’s (US) Breakdown’ have built him a whole new legion of followers, as have appearances on BBC One’s Have I Got News For You and BBC Two’s QI.
