Russell Howard

Russell Howard is one of the UK’s most successful comedians, with his combined 6.4 million followers across various social platforms making him one of the most-followed comedians in the English-speaking world.

He is the writer and star of The Russell Howard Hour, airing on Sky One since 2017. Previously, Russell wrote and starred in 10 seasons of Russell Howard’s Good News originally airing on BBC Three. Having been the channel’s best-performing entertainment show, Good News then graduated on to BBC Two for its final two seasons, where it averaged over 3 million viewers per episode. Russell’s travelogue series, Russell Howard & Mum: Globetrotters was the highest-rated new commission on Comedy Central when it launched in 2016 and ran for two highly acclaimed seasons.

In 2006, Russell won "Best Compere" at the Chortle Awards and was nominated for an if.comedy award for his 2006 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Wandering.

On stage, Russell’s international tour show, Respite, is his biggest to date, spanning over 24 countries across 5 continents. This follows his 2017 international tour, Round the World, which performed at the Royal Albert Hall on 10 consecutive nights, breaking the venue’s record previously held by Frank Sinatra and Barry Manilow of 8 shows in a row. The tour was then released as a Netflix Special entitled Recalibrate.

Following his world tour, Russell hosted a new comedy entertainment programme for Sky 1,The Russell Howard Hour.

In 2021, Russell partnered with Netflix again, with the two-part release of a comedy special Lubricant – the second most-watched stand-up special of 2021 –, alongside a documentary Until the Wheels Come Off. The latter chronicled the turbulent 18-month period leading up to the filming of Lubricant, in a time immediately post-lockdown. Alongside this, during the UK-wide Covid restrictions of 2020, Russell heeded government guidelines with his version of working from home: Russell Howard’s Home Time (Sky One).

Since 2023, Russell has hosted his podcast Five Brilliant Things.

Russell's tireless energy, unabashed love of humanity and uniquely positive approach to stand up has made him one of the UK's favourite and most successful comedians.
