Russell Howard - the rising star
Aged just 19, Russell Howard plotted himself on the comedy map by getting to the final of Channel 4's 'So You Think You're Funny?' competition in only his fifth ever gig. Since then, things have been pretty hectic…
Russell has been busy cementing his place as one of the hottest properties in comedy with his BBC6 Music show every Sunday, Mock The Week and Never Mind The Buzzcocks on BBC2, Would I Lie To You? and Live At The Apollo on BBC1, Law of the Playground on Channel 4 and Tough Gig, The Brits and The British Comedy Awards on ITV, phew…tiring.
Russell Howard Live
It is at live gigs where Russell really storms it. A complete sell out at Edinburgh 2004-2006, Russell sold every ticket of his 2007 run before the Festival had even started and couldn't add extra dates fast enough. His first nationwide solo tour of if.comedy and Barry Award nominated show 'Wandering' was a complete sell out success.
His second solo tour 'Adventures' in Autumn 2007 was again a complete sell out including selling London's Bloomsbury Theatre out in a day before adding three extra sold out shows. Due to overwhelming demand, nineteen final extra dates were added to 'Adventures' for Spring 2008 including a sell out homecoming gig at Bristol's 1700 seater Colston Hall.
Russell started touring with his show 'Dingledodies' in September 2008 and played avrious dates through to December. The tour was such as success that Russell extended the dates into 2009, and it was named 'Best Theatre Show' at the 2009 Chortle Comedy Awards.
