Described as “the best observational comedian of his generation” (The Guardian), this Edinburgh Award nominee has been touring Back From The Bed throughout 2023 and 2024. His previous tour show After This One, I’m Going Home ended with standing ovations around the country.

Seann has appeared on Live At The Apollo, The Wheel, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Last Leg, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Alan Davies’: As Yet Untitled, World’s Most Dangerous Roads, Battle In The Box and Series 22 of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, where he placed 5th.

Seann can also be heard on his regular podcasts What’s Upset You Now, alongside co-host Paul McCaffrey and Oh My Dog, with Jack Dee, where they interview a special guest all about their relationships with their beloved dogs.

You can catch Seann’s stand-up special Kiss on his YouTube channel. Recorded live at the Bill Murray pub, Seann recounts living through the centre of a media storm in his distinctively shambolic, intense and energetic trademark style.

Not just one of the countries funniest stand-up comedians, Seann’s acting credits include The Lovebox In Your Living Room, Clown, and The Bystanders which won him the award for Best Actor in a feature film at the 2023 Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival.

Seann will make his Shakespearean debut in 2024, playing Malvolio in Twelfth Night at Stafford Shakespeare.

Aden Gillett is an award winning British actor, who has played leading parts at the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre, and Shakespeare’s Globe Company. He has also appeared on Broadway. In a lifetime dedicated to theatre, that at one point even featured a bizarre 2 and a half year run playing Mr Banks in Mary Poppins in London’s West End – bizarre because Aden’s singing and dancing skills are minimal – he has also, somehow, appeared in many British TV programmes. You name it, and he’s probably done an episode of it.

Occasionally Aden has been in some films. Mostly arty things that you won’t have seen. He hopes.
