When comedians get telly work, their stand-up often changes, with routines suddenly populated by stories of celebrity encounters. For Seann Walsh, things were somewhat different. Instead, after being invited onto BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, he was photographed kissing his married dance partner and all hell broke loose.

Walsh has already addressed the fallout from that incident (both in terms of loss of work and the effect on his mental health) but this Fringe outing, four years on, finally sees him in a much better place. He’s more settled, back gigging again, with just a hint of TV work too. As it weaves about between his journey and the back story of his addict father, the hour is energetic, confessional and doesn’t miss the opportunity for a gag. Plus there are nice diversions into the crowd to berate people for being too organised (or even too sleepy). One thing is for sure: he’s certainly ‘back’. 

The Stand, until 28 August, 10pm.
