Winner of The Perrier Comedy Award in 1990, 'The Right Side of Wrong' marks a return to the comedy circuit for one of the most distinctive and darkly explosive exponents of the art of stand-up. His no-holds-barred, quick-fire wit shapes each performance into a one-off, unique experience for his audience.

Best-known to TV audiences for his long-running stint in the mould-breaking quiz show 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', Sean's eclectic TV career has also taken in two series of his critically-acclaimed sitcom 'Sean's Show', and despite a nine-year break in performing stand-up, he was recently voted no. 40 in Channel 4's World's 100 Greatest Comedians poll.
