Confessions of a comic as love rat Walsh comes clean
Evening Standard|August 19, 2022
THIS is the second Seann Walsh show prompted by his love rat infamy after being photographed kissing his Strictly dance partner Katya Jones in 2018. If his first post-Strictly show in 2019 tackled the fallout, Seann Walsh: Is Dead, Happy Now? reveals further complications and also a problematic history. Walsh is more candid than ever here.

Confessions of a comic as love rat Walsh comes clean

Seann Walsh

The Stand, Edinburgh

There are stories about PTSD, depression, even an anecdote about a suicide attempt. Yet somehow he finds the funny in all of this because what he is best at is not the doing the Paso Doble to the Matrix theme but standup comedy.

It is no surprise to hear that Walsh had mental health issues after Strictly.

What is a surprise is the revelation that he grew up with a heroin-addicted father. Money was so tight they did not have a dinner table. He chuckles as he pictures himself fronting a travel series with his dad - rather different to the one Jack Whitehall presents with Michael Whitehall.
