Standup comedian Seann Walsh has had to cancel a show after he mistakenly turned up to the wrong town.

The 27-year-old comic had been set to play the Hertford Theatre tonight but instead caught the train to Hereford - around 150 miles away on the other side of the country.

He alerted fans to his mistake on Twitter, saying: “Hertford! I regret to inform you that tonight’s show is cancelled due to me arriving at Hereford near Wales. I am so sorry. Please feel free to tweet me abuse!

“I will make sure I reschedule if you don’t hate me now.”

Sean, who originally comes from Brighton, added that he now faced a journey of more than four hours back to his London home.

He said: “The gig was 45 mins away. I deserve this.”

But the comic’s luck only got worse, and he announced that his train had been cancelled.

Instead he had to catch a train to Newport - in the opposite direction to home - in order to make a connection.

Although he was unable to entertain his fans back in Hertford, others on Twitter did see the funny side.

Clara Cole tweeted: “you literally couldn't make that error up how on earth does a person do that?!?!”

While Colin Speller added: "You aren't the only one, mate. Royston (20 miles from Hertford) council put up road signs to Hereford instead of Hertford."

The comedian is set to play the Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry -which is in the West Midlands - tomorrow night
