Award-winning comedian Seann Walsh brings his new stand-up show This Is Torture to the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth.
Seann Walsh brings his new stand-up show, This Is Torture, to the New Theatre Royal on Thursday 22 October. It's his latest tour, coming after Back From The Bed, which sold out across the UK in 2023.
The title comes from the phrase Walsh says he uses most in his daily life, and the show is built around that same sort of everyday frustration. He describes it as bringing his usual blend of chaos, charm and painfully funny honesty to the stage, so it's a night of new material rather than a best-of set. If you've seen him before, this is the fresh stuff.
Walsh has built a strong reputation over the last few years. The London Standard called him one of comedy's hottest properties, and he's been described as one of Britain's best comedians. Beyond the stage, he's also become one of the UK's most popular podcasters, so he's just as well known for his voice as for his stand-up.
