Sean Lock at The Glee Birmingham

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

The British Comedy Award winner for Best Stand Up is probably best known as team captain on Channel 4’s 8 out of 10 Cats and hugely popular spin-off Cats Does Countdown. In 1999 Sean wrote and starred in the cult classic sitcom 15 Storey’s High. First televised on the BBC, the series followed the travails of Vince, a lifeguard, living in an inner city London tower block. The series quickly gained legendary status as one of the finest and most original sitcoms of recent times.

In 2000 Sean’s show, No Flatley, I Am The Lord Of The Dance was nominated for the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. That year he also won the British Comedy Award for Best Stand Up (previous winners include Jack Dee, Eddie Izzard and Jo Brand). Sean has also won a Time Out Comedy Award.
