Seann Walsh is a British stand-up comedian, writer, and producer, born on December 2, 1985, in Camden, London. He began his comedy career in 2006, performing at various venues and festivals, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Walsh gained recognition for his stand-up performances, which often revolved around British culture, pop culture, self-deprecation, recreational drug use, and drinking culture. Walsh's television credits include appearances on shows like Live at the Apollo and 8 Out of 10 Cats. He also had a role in Jack Dee's ITV sitcom Bad Move. In 2018, Walsh participated in the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing with professional dance partner Katya Jones. However, his involvement in the show was marred by scandal when he was photographed and filmed kissing Jones during the competition, despite both being in long-term relationships at the time. The controversy led to his exit from the show in Week 6. In 2022, Walsh joined I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! as a late addition alongside former health secretary Matt Hancock. During his time on the show, he formed a bromance with Hancock and discussed the Strictly scandal. Walsh has since toured new shows that reflect on his experiences, including Seann Walsh: Is Dead. Happy Now?. His comedy style is described as "impressively universal, gag-heavy, observational".
