WHo He?
The Origin Story
Mr Sean Sellers is a Mexican - sort of.
Really, he’s more of an ‘undercover Mexican’, with an Irish name and an American passport.
As he tells it, before he was born, his mother was worried people would find out they were Mexicans. So, she named him Sean — a name that half his relatives cannot pronounce and no one knows how to spell.
Unfortunately…
Mr Sean Sellers shares his name with far more people than he thinks he should, including an infamous Satanist–turned–Christian double–murderer and the progressive Christian Rock band named after him.
As it stands Sean already has significant competition from an Iowa car dealer; a student activist in Florida; someone who played the receptionist in an episode of the teen Sci–fi drama Roswell; and a Straight–edge, hardcore punk drummer from Santa Cruz, California.
The Comedy Career
Crazy characters, voices, and a knack for sketch and improvised comedy saw him win numerous accolades and awards as a young comedian in the United States. He trained as an actor, formed a theatre company, and studied alongside the famed San Francisco Mime Troupe. Eventually, he relocated to London, England, where he now resides full time.
As a stand up comedian, critics and promoters have called him:
“A very distinctive figure…He speaks in short, sharp sentences as he agitatedly expresses his hefty catalogue of peeves. His angsty, agitated style…makes him very watchable”
— Steve Bennett, Chortle
“Clever!”
— Trevor Jones, House of Stand Up
““[With] a short routine about his style of fashion, He received his first (of two) applause breaks…polished…enjoyable.””
— Peter Fox, Nottingham Comedy Review
He’s performed in the United States, UK, and mainland Europe; and is part of the team behind the Stand Up London Comedy Club and Comedy East.
ThE Junior mrs & MOre
In addition, Sean is one-third of the music & sketch comedy trio, The Junior Mrs. Together they have released two full-length albums, including 2021’s The Junior Mrs Presents: The Best of KKOC, covering 50 years of a fake LA radio station, and 2023’s Wine, Mower, Stovepipe, Pong, collected songs from their debut audio series Meet the Junior Mrs. Both albums are available to stream (Apple Music. Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited, etc.), as well as purchase on CD and vinyl from Driftloud records.
Season one of Meet the Junior Mrs is an 8-part sketch comedy audio series, available from Acast on podcasting platforms everywhere. You can also hear him on the 2001 London cast recording of the musical Elegies For Angels, Punks and Raging Queens.
If that’s not enough, Sean is also the co-creator of Pitch Her This, a movie-based comedy game show, where two teams complete in a series of movie-related challenges pitching real and imagined movies to a ‘big time Hollywood film executive’ in order to their project greenlit (available now on NextUp).
