Russell Howard is one of the UK’s most prolific stand-up comedians, known for his sharp wit and relatable observational humor. After writing and starring in over 180 episodes of “Russell Howard’s Good News” (BBC) and “The Russell Howard Hour” (Sky), his rise to prominence was further cemented with six stand-up specials, multiple record-breaking tours, and more than a billion social media views. His current worldwide “Russell Howard Live” tour, his biggest to date, has already sold over 315,000 tickets and included standout runs at iconic venues such as the London Palladium, alongside performances across Europe, America, Australia, and New Zealand.

Beyond the stage, Russell has built a robust presence on television and streaming platforms. He recently wrapped filming the sixth series of “The Russell Howard Hour,” one of Sky’s most successful entertainment shows, and has released two Netflix specials, “Recalibrate” and the two-part “Lubricant”/“Until The Wheels Come Off,” documenting both his stand-up and unique experiences performing during the pandemic. He also hosts one of the Top 10 Comedy Podcasts, “Wonderbox,” where he invites guests to talk about the personal mementos that remind them of life’s pivotal moments. Previous adventures include “Russell Howard & Mum: Globetrotters,” and his acclaimed lockdown show, “Russell Howard’s Home Time,” which raised funds for the NHS and The Trussell Trust.

A passionate supporter of charitable causes, Russell has taken part in major fundraising efforts like the “Sport Relief Million Pound Bike Ride,” cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End, and running the London Marathon to support epilepsy research in honor of his brother. He has sold millions of tickets globally, performed to audiences worldwide, and repeatedly broken venue records, including a 10-night run at the Royal Albert Hall. From his early days co-hosting on BBC 6 Music to becoming a household name, Russell Howard remains a distinctive voice in comedy, blending quick-fire humor with heartfelt social commentary.
