Entertainment

COMEDIAN, ACTOR, ANIMATOR

MY NAME IS SEAN TURNER I'M A STAND-UP COMEDIAN AND ACTOR BASED IN THE NORTHEAST OF ENGLAND.

I'm a dry human person with a surreal sense of humour

I'm doing an Edinburgh show this year it's called.

A Geordie Python

I will be Performing at 7 pm in the cellar at Cannon Gait pub on the Royal Mile every day from the 3rd to the 25th of August 2014.

Its surreal comedy but with my unique stamp on it. I use a screen to show you animations that I make myself and I voice them live. Humorous life experiences. Such as memories of childhood and adulthood. I will use my ADHD and dyslexic child-like imagination to entertain. Also, funny video clips of daft stuff I've done over the years. Small parts of audience interaction in this show, which means I might talk to you and have a conversation. I sing parody songs some of which are accompanied by animations in parts. Maybe some mild adult themes. A fun show and a bit different. I've been told it's like having a mate entertain them in their house.

Here are some reviews to the right of what people who came to see last year's show thought.

If you like things like Monty Python, Adult Swim, and The Mighty Boosh you will enjoy yourself. Not my words but the public.

Gigs

If you're looking to book me you can get in touch through my email seanturnercomic@gmail.com

Charity Gigs

I'm a Dyslexic person with ADHD and know what problems that can cause individuals adults and children alike. When I started comedy and acting I used to just copy and paste the gigs I had done onto a page like this one. I couldn't even be bothered to read what I was putting on there. So some neurotypical humans would read it and get the wrong end of the stick or it wouldn't make sense or something like that. Now since my ADHD diagnosis, I have pills to help me concentrate so find it less stressful so I can write now. I may still make some spelling mistakes though, so if the spelling or grammar police are reading this you've been warned so you can't complain. :) Serrously though I'm passionate about supporting charities such as ADHD, Dyslexia. children, or anything to support people's well-being and mental health. Please Get in touch because I will help out where I can.

Reviews and Quotes

Steve Bennett CHORTLE 2019 Leicester Comedian Of The Year Finalist 2019

Sean Turner, a dry, surreal bloke from the North East, all of which invite comparisons with Gavin Webster. Some of his one-liners are delightfully absurd, and very funny.

He’s got funny instincts

Sean Turner at times was absurdist and surreal, he was just as good as American legend Steven Wright. The moment when he diffused his difficult jokes by singing a song in a club-land style was Reeves and Mortimer at their finest. It was thoroughly entertaining.

He is a different kind of act all together. Completely unpredictable and unbelievably funny,

Sean Turner, with his enthusiasm for audience participation and cheeky twists was a highlight - Narc magazine review of silly billies

David Hadingham, Comedian and Northeast Jesterval comedy festival/ Grinning Idiot Promoter

I couldn’t believe how much I laughed, honestly, I couldn't believe it!

I can't think of on occasion ever when the open spot got an encore though but Sean Turner did. Will be keeping a close eye on this guy.

Giggle Beats, Developments in comedy tend to come from the outsiders rather than the mainstream. Sean is as out there as anyone out there. Keep an eye on him.

Jack Gardner, Silly Billies Comedy club Newcastle.

Sean Turner is incredibly original whilst also being a part of that rich Geordie tradition of otherworldly surrealism. He has an imagination the size of Jupiter and the warmth of a cuddle from a Hairy Biker, which combined makes him one of the most underrated and finest stand-ups around. Sean Turner is the real deal make no mistake!

Simon Donald/ Comedian and one of the Viz comic creators

Sean pushes boundaries, he's not easy to pigeonhole. You don't know what you're going to get. He's a proper alternative comedian.
