Seann Walsh: This is Torture

Seann Walsh: This is Torture

Venue: Theatre Royal
8pm
After his sell-out 2023 tour, the UK's dishevelled king of stand-up, award-winning 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
