Russell Howard is one of the UK’s most successful comedians. After the global success of writing and starring in 182 episodes of The Russell Howard Hour (Sky) and Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC), as well as six monologue specials, his clips have achieved over a billion views on social media and sold over two million tickets worldwide. He is currently on a world tour with his new monologue show Russell Howard Live, his best-selling tour to date, in which he has sold over 315,000 tickets and performed over 200 performances in the UK (including 13 sold-out shows at the iconic London Palladium), Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand.

Howard said, “I hope you love this show as much as I loved making it. Touring the globe and recording the special at the London Palladium was an absolute dream come true and I can’t wait to catch up with everyone on launch night, no matter where in the world you are.”

Launching in to the Top 10 Comedy Podcasts, Russell’s Five Brilliant Things podcast has seen him chat to guests, including John Oliver, Jameela Jamil, Shaun Keaveny, Roisin Conaty, Munya Chawawa, Jimmy Carr, Jack Whitehall, Greg Davies and Guz Khan about what in their lives that makes it worth getting up in the morning.

Russell’s previous world tours include a record-breaking 10-night run at the Royal Albert Hall, surpassing the eight consecutive shows held by Frank Sinatra and Barry Manilow, as well as performing the largest stand-up show ever in China.
