Sean Lock - Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall: Thursday 8th April 2010

Sean Lock is one of the UK's most highly acclaimed and original comedians, making his stage debut over 15 years ago. His stand-up is the product of a hyperactive imagination combining hilariously surreal imagery and insightful observations on the human condition.


Sean is a regular at London's Comedy Store and has appeared at all the major festivals around the world including Edinburgh, Melbourne, Montreal and the Stavanger Humorfestivat in Norway.

Television

Sean is team captain on the topical comedy panel show, 8 Out of 10 Cats, into its seventh series. Sean also has his own show on Channel 4, TV Heaven Telly Hell, that returned for the second series in the summer of 2008 with guests including Jack Dee and Alan Carr.

Sean Lock has written and stars in his own BBC sitcom 15 Storeys High as Vince the lifeguard who lives in a South London tower block. The show quickly established itself as one of the most original comedy series of recent years and is a cult classic. Series 1 and 2 are now available on DVD. He also wrote and presented TV's Believe it or Not for BBC Four in 2008 and The Great British Sunday where Sean looks at what Sundays always meant to him - from hangovers to Jack Hargreaves, from Sunday school and stately homes to utter boredom.

Sean's extensive television credits include appearances on QI (BBC), Have I Got News for You (BBC), They Think It's All Over (BBC), Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC), The World Of Lee Evans (Channel 4), Here's Johnny (BBC) and The Stand Up Show (BBC).

As a writer Sean co-created Mark Lamarr's Leaving The 20th Century (BBC), and has contributed to such shows as Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC), It's Only TV But I like It (BBC) and Is It Bill Bailey (Channel 4).
