Faversham House, organisers of the show, today announced the celebrity to host the 2012 Sign & Digital UK Awards will be top TV comedian 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 years.
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.
Reviews of Seann Walsh’s performance include:
"... funnyman SEANN WALSH had the crowd in stitches with his memories of fixing video tapes by blowing in them..." - The Sun
"...with the looks, gags and charm to become something quite special, Walsh is this generation's Dylan Moran" - Time Out
“His energetic enthusiasm had the audience in fits of laughter throughout the entire evening, barely allowing us to come up for air between reminiscing and jokes.” – Latest 7
Having built a strong reputation on the comedy circuit, Seann Walsh is now a regular on UK television. He has permanent spots on Argumental as a team captain and Stand Up for the Week as a weekly featured comic. He has also been a guest on a number of popular comedy and panel shows including Mock the Week, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, 8 out of 10 Cats, Russell Howard’s Good News Extra and also Comic Relief’s 24 Hour Panel People in 2011, just to name a few. With Seann Walsh as host, this years’ Sign & Digital UK Awards are set to not only celebrate the best in the industry, but also provide an evening of entertainment and laughter.
