Seymour Mace spent time as a clown in Japan, did a Fine Art degree during COVID, built a potter's wheel in his back garden, got a first, and somewhere in the middle of all that did some stand-up. He's fine.

Seymour Mace is a British comedian and actor known for his surreal, offbeat humour and cult status on the UK comedy circuit, best recognised for his role in the BBC series Ideal.

  • How he ended up working as a street clown in Japan in the '90s — and how he nearly stayed on as Big Bird at Tokyo Disneyland
  • What doing a Fine Art degree during lockdown taught him about creativity — and why the education system quietly beats it out of most people
  • Comedy courses and clown schools — why Seymour thinks the best training is just being around funny people and working out why they're funny
  • The freedom of not chasing fame, and why, with no mortgage or anyone to answer to, he's essentially living like a rich person without having to be a c**t
