"Hugely impressive and intelligent" Time Out
In 1987, Sean Hughes started doing stand-up comedy in London clubs. He became the youngest ever winner of the prestigious Perrier Award for A One Night Stand With Sean Hughes at the Edinburgh Festival in 1990. The show also played to crowds in London and throughout the UK, Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto and toured Australia for the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 1991. Sean then launched his successful TV career with the critically acclaimed 7 part sitcom Sean's Show for Channel 4, which Sean both wrote and starred in and hot on the footsteps of the first, a second series followed shortly after. As well as his comic writing, Sean has written two collections of prose and poetry and the first, Sean's Book sold over 40,000 copies. Sean has also written two critically acclaimed novels The Detainees and It's What He Would Have Wanted.
His no-holds-barred, quick-fire wit shapes each performance into a one-off, unique experience for his audience.
Along with Sean’s Show, Sean is best-known to TV audiences for his long-running stint as team captain on the daddy of all panel shows Never Mind The Buzzcocks and also acclaimed drama The Last Detective … not forgetting starring as Eileen Grimshaw’s love interest, Pat, in Coronation Street.
Despite a nine-year break from performing stand-up, he was recently voted No. 40 in Channel 4's World's 100 Greatest Comedians poll. His equally wide-ranging film and theatre career includes starring roles in the film adaptation of Spike Milligan's Puckoon and, with Sienna Miller on the West End stage, in As You Like It.
"High calibre comedy as it should be" The Standard
