Sean Hughes brings his comedy to Rhyl Pavilion

Jan 28 2010

SEAN Hughes, the youngest comic ever to win the Perrier Award, with his Edinburgh Fringe debut, is back on tour.

The new show What I Meant To Say Was... is bursting at the seams with the darkly brilliant, self- deprecating barbed wit that has kept him at the top of his game.

He performs it at Rhyl’s Pavilion Theatre next month.

Beforehand, he’s likely to be rifling through local publications to get a flavour of what’s happening in the town.

He prides himself that no two shows are the same, with much of the material spontaneous.

"I would go stir crazy if I had to say the same thing every night," he said. "I know where I’m going, from A to B, but there’s detours along the way."

Born in London but raised in Dublin, he’s also appeared in films such as The Commitments, and on TV in The Last Detective, Coronation Street and most recently in Miss Marple.

He also captained a side in BBC’s Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and previously presented a Sunday morning music show on BBC Radio 6.

His Sean’s Show on Channel 4 highlighted his dark, explosive style and quickfire audience banter.

He’s also written books The Detainees and It's What He Would Have Wanted

plus two collections of prose and poetry,
