Seann Walsh Seann To Be Wild ** Tour extension - Spring 2013 ** ‘S‘S‘Slick,‘S lick, funny observational comedy’ **** - Chortle 'Sharp, creative observational comedy from a precocious newcomer.See him now, before the stadium tour' - Sunday Times “Walsh is well on his way to becoming a star attraction” – The Independent Comedy’s fastest rising star Seann Walsh will be continuing to tour his hit show, Seann To Be Wild, this spring due to popular demand. Walsh will be performing his razor-sharp observational comedy throughout the UK and Ireland in a combination of solo shows plus double headers performances with Josh Widdicombe. Star of Channel 4’s Stand Up For The Week , BBC1’s Live At The Apoll o and Dave’s Argumental, Seann is a charming and charismatic natural born observational storyteller, and one of the most frighteningly precocious talents to emerge from the UK comedy circuit in years. Within two years of his first comedy performance Seann was the winner of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year . Shortly after other accolades included, Chortle Best Breakthrough Act Nominee 2010 and Chortle Best Compere Nominee 2011. Seann’s other recent TV appearances include: Channel 4’s Comedy Gala Live At The 02 2012 , Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC2), Mock The Week (BBC2), 8 Out Of 10 Cats (Channel 4) and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow (BBC1). Seann Walsh will also be starring in his very own brand new television series ‘Seann Walsh World’ starting in March on Comedy Central. Made by Open Mike Productions, the 13 part series will mix stand-up comedy with viral internet video clips as Seann delves in to his life as a young, single 26 year old comedian. Seann will also star later this year in Comedy Central’s new original sitcom, ‘Big Bad World’ . “There are plenty of young male comedians dreaming that they're going to become the next big thing, but Seann Walsh is one of the (very) few with the chops to actually pull it off. For one thing, he seems to have access to a never-ending supply of observational material that absolutely nails the banality and silliness of modern twentysomething living. As well as that, he also delivers it with a spectacular combination of charm and conviction plus a little bit of unpredictability, an edge of danger that sets him above his more bland and processed peers. On top of all that, on his day he's funnier than most of them, too. You may already have seen Walsh popping up on TV shows such as Argumental and Stand Up For The Week but he's at his best when given the bigger canvas of the live stage to display his gag-studded tales of bad sex, public drunkenness and the general downside of being a dumb young man about town” ––– GUARDIAN GUIDE (NOV 20122012)))) www.seannwalsh.com / Twitter: @seannwalsh / www.offthekerb.co.uk For all press enquiries, press tickets, interviews requests and images please contact: Alison Peters or Aimee Reilly at Alison Peters PR [email protected] 07810 238 851 / [email protected] 07863 620 084 SEANN WALSH UK TOUR DATES SRPING 2013 Seann To Be Wild "Youthful observational comedy with plenty of charm" Sunday Times "...with the looks, gags and charm to become something quite special, Walsh is this generation's Dylan Moran" - Time Out Saturday 9 th February - Guildford, G Live 0844 7701 797, www.GLive.co.uk Sunday 17 th February - Radlett, Radlett Centre (double with Marlon Davis) 01923 859291, www.radlettcentre.co.uk Saturday 23 rd February - Peterborough, Key Theatre (double with Josh Widdicombe) 01733 207239, www.vivacity-peterborough.com Sunday 24 th February - Leicester, Just The Tonic 0116 262 5050, www.justthetonic.com Saturday 9 th March - Flavel, Arts Centre 01803 839530, www.theflavel.org.uk Friday 22 nd March - Middlesbrough, Crypt (double with Josh Widdicombe) 01642 729 729, www.middlesbroughtownhallonline.co.uk Sunday 24 th March - Glasgow Comedy Festival, The Stand 0844 335 8879 , www.thestand.co.uk Tuesday 2 nd April - Newcastle, The Stand (double with Josh Widdicombe) 0844 693 3336, www.thestand.co.uk Friday 5 th April - Chipping Norton, Theatre 01608 642 350, www.chippingnortontheatre.com Sunday 6 th April - Swindon, Arts Centre 01793 614837, www.swindon.gov.uk/artscentre Saturday 13 th April - Margate, Theatre Royal (double bill with Josh Widdicombe) 01843 292795 / 296111, www.theatreroyalmargate.com Thursday 2 nd May - Southport, The Atkinson (double bill with Josh Widdicombe) 01704 533333, www.theatkinson.co.uk Thursday 9 th May - Corby, The Core at Corby Cube (double bill with Josh Widdicombe) 01536 470 470, www.thecorecorby.com For all press enquiries, press tickets, interviews requests and images please contact: Alison Peters or Aimee Reilly at Alison Peters PR [email protected] 07810 238 851 / [email protected] 07863 620 084 Monday 13th May - Fowey Festival, The Festival Marquee (double bill with Josh Widdicombe) 01726 879 500, www.foweyfestival.com Saturday 25 th May - Bridport, Arts Centre (double bill with Josh Widdicombe) 01308 424 204, www.bridport-arts.com Wednesday 12 th June - King’s Lynn, Guildhall Theatre (double bill with Josh Widdicombe) 01553 764864, www.kingslynnarts.co.uk Thursday 13 th June - Norwich, Playhouse (double bill with Josh Widdicombe) 01603 598 598, www.norwichplayhouse.co.uk Saturday 15th June - Aylesbury, Limelight (plus support Romesh Ranganathan) 01296 424 332, www.qpc.org For all press enquiries, press tickets, interviews requests and images please contact: Alison Peters or Aimee Reilly at Alison Peters PR [email protected] 07810 238 851 / [email protected] 07863 620 084 .
