Seann Walsh
One of the UK’s most exciting (and funny - obviously) stand-up comedians, Seann quickly gained well deserved praise and admiration from the likes of Jack Dee and the late Jeremy Hardy….and of course Fred! Appearances on BBC’s Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow and 8 out of10 Cats ensured that Seann was on an upward trajectory towards
