Gits and Shiggles Comedy's season of previews and works-in-progress continues. Two hour long shows from some of the best acts in the UK
SEANN WALSH
Charming and charismatic, a natural motor-mouth, Brighton’s Seann Walsh is the most frighteningly precocious talent to emerge from the UK comedy circuit in ages. As seen on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Stand up for the Week, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Celebrity Juice and Tonight at the London Palladium.
Within two years of his first comedy performance in 2007, Seann became the winner of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year. Shortly after, other accolades included Chortle Best Breakthrough Act Nominee 2010 and Chortle Best Compere Nominee 2011.
‘Unquestionably the best observational comic of his generation’ – The Guardian
‘…Sharp, creative observational comedy from a precocious newcomer. See him now, before the stadium tour…’ – Sunday Times
‘…with the looks, gags and charm to become something quite special, Walsh is this generation’s Dylan Moran…’ – Time Out
JAKE LAMBERT
One of the best young comics around, Jake Lambert has supported Seann Walsh and Rob Beckett on your, and written for Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Virtually Famous.
"Brilliant one-liners" - Steve Bennett, Chortle.
"He’s got gags to burn, and can weave them seamlessly into his routines...he’s a talent." - Paul Fleckney, Chortle
"Could easily be a TV star in a few years" - Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke.
