PRESS
“near-impeccable” Chortle
“Gravel-voiced scruff who is the ultimate late-night club comic. Has the ability to take any gig by the, ahem, scruff of the neck. Strong observations and the demeanour of a hardened pub rocker will no doubt see Seann's popularity soar in 2010.” The Sun
“Walsh is this generation’s Dylan Moran, with the looks, gags and charm to become something quite special” Time Out
“A solid gagsmith with a disarming presence” Julian Hall – The Independent
“memorable …scored some of the biggest laughs of the night” The Stage
“…his shambolic stumbling hits the mark, he has the audience in howls.”
“inventive comedy … deft punchlines and appealing delivery.” Chortle
