Walsh’s comedy is sharp, intelligent and ridiculous. He is unafraid to talk serious issues including

mental health and addiction and he always seems to know how to see the funny side.

The comic has a deadpan, dry and very silly style on stage that is infectiously funny. His wonderful original comedy is absurdist and chaotic taking the audience on a journey of hilarity.
