After Dinner Speakers
Russell Howard is one of the UK’s most successful comedians.
Russell’s 2017 tour, Round the World, was his biggest tour to date with performances spanning 11 countries across 3 continents. With 10 consecutive nights at the Royal Albert Hall, his tour breaks the venue’s record previously held by Frank Sinatra and Barry Manilow with 8 shows in a row.
The success of this tour led to its release as a Netflix Special entitled Recalibrate.
Following his world tour, Russell hosted a new comedy entertainment programme for Sky 1, The Russell Howard Hour.
Over the period from 2009 to 2015, Russell wrote and starred in 96 episodes of Russell Howard’s Good News, BBC Three’s best-performing entertainment show.
Its success led to a new home on BBC Two for its ninth and tenth seasons, where it averaged over 3 million viewers per episode. Multiple segments of the show have gone viral, amassing over 32 million views.
In 2016, Russell took his mum on an eye-opening trip around the USA in the travelogue series Russell Howard & Mum: USA Road Trip for Comedy Central UK, which became the channel’s highest rating original commission.
Russell has released a number of bestselling live stand-up DVDs including Russell Howard Live, Russell Howard Live: Dingledoddies, Right Here, Right Now and Russell Howard: Wonderbox.
