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! Seymour has extensive acting and performing experience and has worked for the Natural Theatre Company as a street performer on various international projects. 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. "My first performance was from behind a brown and beige seventies armchair and featured the acting talents of Horsey, an orange cloth and wool horses head. I don?t remember the finer points of the performance but I do remember everyone laughing." He was the winner of the Newcastle Comedy Festival Big Grin Award 2000, winner of the Cup-A-Soup Challenge 2001, finalist in Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny 2001 and semiifinalist in the BBC New Act Competition 2002. "Breathtaking... a surreal performance, he had the audience in the palm of his hand from start to finish." - Evening Chronicle "Sharp, surreal set." - Leicester Mercury "Gangling idiot savant." - Newcastle Evening Chronicle "After wowing the judges the future looks bright for Seymour Mace." - The Shields Gazette
