FINALIST IN CHANNEL 4’S SO YOU THINK YOU’RE FUNNY 2001

BEST BREAKTHROUGH ACT – NORTH WEST COMEDY AWARDS 2004

Perhaps most familiar to you as Steve in cult TV series Ideal, Seymour Mace's surreal free form stand up takes the audience on a slightly off-beat flight of fancy with his childlike and often childish explorations into relationships and naive investigations into why things are. Follow the hilarity into his charmed mind to see through his eyes... life, the universe and bears!

After a relatively short time gigging, Seymour has exploded onto the comedy scene. On his first attempt at stand up comedy, he won the Newcastle Comedy Festival 2000 prestigious award for new comedy talent - The Big Grin. Seymour has extensive acting and performing experience and has worked for the Natural Theatre Company as a street performer on various international projects.

As well as winning the Big Grin Award 2000, he was also a finalist in Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny 2001, winner of City Life North West Comedian of the Year 2003 and semi-finalist in the BBC New Act Competition 2002.
