Award-winning comedian and star of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Seann Walsh has announced an extension to his acclaimed live tour, THIS IS TORTURE, with new dates added through 2027.
Before the tour resumes in Autumn 2026, Seann will head to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August, bringing his trademark razor-sharp comedy to one of the world's biggest comedy stages.
Tickets for the newly announced 2027 dates go on sale this Friday, 10 July here.
After his sell-out 2023 tour, the UK’s dishevelled king of stand-up Seann Walsh returns with a brand-new hour of side-splitting comedy. Don’t miss his trademark high-energy exasperation and razor-sharp observations that leave audiences in stitches and on their feet all around the country. This year, he’s decided to name the show after the thing he says the most in life - THIS IS TORTURE.
Sure, life’s hard - but not as hard as it is for Seann Walsh. After his hit UK tour Back From The Bed, one of Britain’s best comedians is back, bringing his signature blend of chaos and charm in a brand-new, anxiety-soaked hour. Welcome to THIS IS TORTURE.
As seen on Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Last Leg, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled and World’s Most Dangerous Roads.
Audiences can expect the very best from a comedian at the top of his game. “One of comedy’s hottest properties… very talented, very funny” (The London Standard), Seann brings his trademark mix of chaos, charm and painfully funny honesty to the stage. THIS IS TORTURE is a laugh-out-loud night from one of Britain’s most beloved stand-ups – and now one of its most popular podcasters too.
Seann Walsh has become one of the UK’s most recognisable and respected comedians. Over the years, he’s made countless appearances on television, including Strictly Come Dancing, 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 Series 22 of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Away from television, Seann has built an impressive podcasting portfolio. 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 hilarious 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, directed by Iqbal Khan.
