Seann Walsh: This is Torture

Seann Walsh is back in Milton Keynes on Tuesday 27 October, playing the Jim Marshall Auditorium at The Stables. It's a new hour of stand-up, This is Torture, and it's his first time on the road since his sell-out tour in 2023. The title comes from the phrase he says he uses most in life: 'THIS IS TORTURE'.

Walsh has built his name on observational comedy, and he's often billed as the UK's 'dishevelled king of stand-up'. He's an award-winning comic known for a high-energy, exasperated style that's played to sell-out crowds across the country. The Guardian called him 'unquestionably the best observational comic of his generation', which gives you a fair idea of where he sits in the current stand-up scene. If you've seen him before, you'll know the format: he takes the small, irritating things that happen to everyone and stretches them out until they're absurd, usually with that signature sense of disbelief running through it.

This is a brand-new hour, so you're seeing the material fresh rather than a run of old favourites. It's a full hour of comedy, not a short set, and it's just him on stage. A few things to keep in mind before you book: the show may contain strong language and adult material, and it's suitable for 16+, so it's not one for the kids. If you're planning to go, the show starts at 8:00pm at the Jim Marshall Auditorium within The Stables, in the heart of Milton Keynes.
