Sean Walsh is known professionally as Seann Walsh. He is an English comedian and actor.
Seann Walsh is an extraordinary observational comic, with a phenomenal talent for getting to the heart of the funny in the most everyday topics, and enlivening a routine with act-outs.We talk about how his persona changed from open mics to big rooms, and how he strove for authenticity, despite the looming feeling that something was missing from his impressive TV career. Just when this outsider among outsiders seemed finally about to break big, in 2018 he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing (BBC) and pictures surfaced of him kissing his dance partner. We discuss the tabloid uproar and the accusations that followed, and the effect they had on his life and work.40mins of extras available exclusively to members of the Insiders Club include Seann on being unsettled by the aggressive environment on panel shows, getting kicked out of college and the cosiness of melancholy; his unique DIY technique for ridding oneself of nervous energy pre-show; and why any future set on Conan (TBS) will be very different to his first one...Join today at www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders@SeannWalsh | seannwalsh.comGet tickets for Stu's tour:28/02/20Cambridge Junction

#240 Forgetting About Caterpillars - Richard is back at Sheffield City Hall and has some hard-hitting topical questions to ask before introducing his guest dancing comedian Seann Walsh. They talk about how Rich undermined Seann during a recording of Argumental, the downside of a comedian being discovered too quickly, the extraordinary tour documentary One For The Road (link below) and Rich’s plan to make a documentary about it, drinking on stage and What’s up with that extra n and is it enough? Plus an analysis of the American Pie sequels. Oh, and we might touch a little bit upon Strictly Come Dancing and the repercussions of an act of selfishness and stupidity that came out of it. But what was it like being at the centre of that storm? And did the transgression justify the level of fury? And aren’t we all just hypocrites about this stuff. Can comedy act as therapy and is reliving your shame always the right way to go?Watch Sean's Documentary here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG4vDgNrm4gSUPPORT THE SHOW!Become a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITESee details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATESBuy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE
