Seann Walsh: This is Torture

Seann Walsh is coming to the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Wednesday 14 April 2027, with his new show This is Torture. It's a brand-new hour of observational comedy, and the title comes from the phrase Walsh says he utters most in his life. He describes the set as high-energy, mixing chaos and charm with razor-sharp exasperation.

Walsh is back on stage after his sell-out 2023 tour, Back From The Bed, and he's built a reputation as one of Britain's best comedians — he calls himself the 'dishevelled king of stand-up'. He won New Act of the Year at Just for Laughs in Montreal in 2009 and opened the 2010 Brighton Comedy Festival gala. The national press have been on his side too: The Guardian called him 'unquestionably the best observational comic of his generation', and he's drawn praise from The Telegraph, The Evening Standard and The Independent.

The show runs from 7:30pm to 9:15pm at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough's independent theatre and cinema, which is housed in a beautifully restored 1930s Odeon. Standard tickets are £18.00.
