Russell Howard

RUSSELL HOWARD is one of the UK’s most successful live comedians having played to more than 58,000 fans over nine nights on his last UK arena tour, which saw the comic visit some of the county’s biggest venues, including Wembley Arena and the Manchester Evening News Arena.

RUSSELL is also writer and star of two series of his own BBC Three show, Russell Howard’s Good News. The hit show’s debut run was the most requested BBC Three programme on iPlayer last year, and the channel’s most successful studio-based entertainment show ever, drawing in 2.5 million viewers a week.
