After the global success of writing and starring in 182 episodes of The Russell Howard Hour (Sky) and Russell Howard's Good News (BBC) combined, plus six stand-up specials, with clips amassing over 1 billion views on social media and selling 1.5 million tickets to his gigs worldwide so far, Russell Howard is back on the road once again with his fourth and biggest world tour to date, Russell Howard Live. Russell Howard Live has already seen him perform runs in the UK, Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand. The tour continues this fall with dates in Canada, followed by a return to Europe and the U.S. for additional performances.
Alongside hosting his hugely popular Wonderbox podcast, Russell recently began co-hosting an all-new original podcast, GoalLess, focused on soccer and The Champions League, with Chris Wittyngham through SmartLess Media: a joint venture between Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett.
In addition to his live tours across the pond, Russell has appeared on a number of late-night shows including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Late Late Show with James Corden, plus podcasts including Bertcast, Lovett or Leave it with Jon Lovett and We Might Be Drunk with Mark Normand and Sam Morril.
Russell's previous world tours have seen him perform a record-breaking 10-night run at the Royal Albert Hall, overtaking eight in a row jointly held by Frank Sinatra and Barry Manilow, and play the biggest ever stand-up show in China.
Russell was absolutely fantastic! He had funny banter with the crowd and seemed to genuinely enjoy his time in Boston. The venue itself was average. We had to stand up. Drinks were expensive. Parking wasn't obvious when we first drove by.
One of the best stand up acts I've seen live in a while. The jokes were incisive, smart, outrageously funny and delivered with impeccable charm and Britishness!
I've been watching Russell online for years (both standup and tv shows) and was so excited to see him live. I would happily have sat there for another 3 hours. The show was awesome
it was unforgettable. best night of my life. i wish it would have lasted longer
This show was fantastic! Russell Howard did not disappoint, bringing all the energy and charisma he has on TV into the small, but well sized, crowd at the TLA. Audience was filled with many die-hard fans and show was intimate and fun. Some jokes did not fully transfer to audience (a couple of jokes about women and abuse did not get big of laughs) but, overall the audience had a great time messing with Russell and teaching him the ways of the rowdy, but sweet, Philadelphians. On a side note the opening act was not super fantastic, felt very stiff and cliche.
Wanted to see RH while back in the UK but couldnt find a show and stumbled on the fact he was coming to philly! Bought tickets immediately and couldnt believe our luck - we were 3 rows off centre stage! perfect seats! He was epic-ally funny and because the venue was small he interacted with the audience a lot which was excellent! I hope he does return as we will buy tickets to this again! I did recommend to a friend in Chicago who might also be going!
Brilliant set ... amazing venue!!!! Two thumbs up for the sixth & I booze "sippy" cups!
Being at the Russell Howard show was magical! I was so excited to know that he was going to be close enough for me to go see him live. I wish that I could replay that night over and over again. There is no way that I'm ever going to forget the opportunity to watch this amazing British stand up comic live. And what made it even better was that my best friend came to the show with me and Russell Howard was his first stand up comedian he ever watched live and he absolutely loved it. I'm so excited that the 6th and I hosted Russell Howard at their venue. They made an amazing choice! It was a night I will never forget!
I've been a huge fan of Russell Howard for years, and at this point, I've legitimately memorized his stand-up routines as well as much of Good News. Unfortunately, this means that I was hyper-aware that approximately 80% of this show was old material. I still enjoyed the evening immensely; indeed, I had difficulty breathing for much of the show because I was laughing so hard. His opening performer, Max Rosenblum, was phenomenal. I am immensely grateful to Russell for picking him, because I've now found a new comedian to add to my list of favourites.
The event was horrible- he really is not that great as a comedian. More than half the show was filled with graphic sexuality jokes that were quite inappropriate. He barrages the audience with personal opinions about sensitive socio-political issues; and I just found it all so irrelevant. I think the worst part for me- was that he lacked a cultural context or understanding of American life in general- so his material was mainly focused on his family and native town in Bristol. If you have no idea about these places, it was so irrelevant and actually boring. Finally- comedians who always have to go the basest form -i.e. rely on sexual jokes for all their material; just seem immature and reveals a poor craft . Why not take your act to the next level? I felt insulted and assaulted by the whole barrage the entire evening- I actually wished I could get a refund. Definitely not worth it- I was so utterly disappointed.
I loved everything about this event! First off, I love visiting The City. I've only been familiar with Russell Howard for a little over a year, but I knew he was pretty well known (at least overseas) and expected the even to be held in a large amphitheater. I was delightfully surprised to find it held in an intimate little comedy club! The Punchline's atmosphere was lovely: clean, nice lighting, comfortable seating and space. I sat near at the bar and had a nice conversation with a couple of the bartenders (they were very friendly..not in a creepy way or anything, and I'm sure it's part of their job, but it didn't feel forced so I appreciated it). I had parked in the garage below the comedy club (which closed at 10...which meant I would have to leave early), and the bartender was kind enough to let me know when would be a good time and where to move my car so I wouldn't have to leave early =) Now for Russell Howard...he was, of course, brilliant. He had the entire room (which consisted of mostly folks who had never even heard of him) absolutely in stitches! He was friendly and engaging with the audience, and as usual his bit didn't seem too structured - like, he's flexible with his stories and jokes and tells the ones that seem appropriate for the audience that he's talking to. It's like you're just hanging out with your buddy and exchanging weird stories. The thing I really appreciate about Russell's brand of comedy is how incredibly smart and witty he is without being mean. Sure, he takes a crack at people doing ridiculous things, but he also makes fun of himself and his family...he genuinely just wants to make people laugh from a good, non-judgmental place. And he's incredibly successful at it. Bottom line is: loved the venue and ADORED the entertainment. I will definitely be back!
The guy is great live! Even bluer than his TV appearances! If he's on in your neck of the woods then go see him... a great night out!
He was amazing, even if some of the audience wasn't familiar with his work. Though the set was mostly made up of new material, he threw in a few of the classics from his previous tours that he knew he could get laughs with. Howard handled the crowd very well, and his opener, Mark Normand, was also very good as usual.
We came from Switzerland to see Russell Live in New York and the place was great, staff friendly, food very good (Vegan Mini-Burgers! Amazing…) and the Show…Russell was excellent, funny, witty and just fantastic!
Outstanding stand up, great to see someone from my home town do such an amazing show
