Russell Howard returns with his new stand-up comedy tour, Don't Tell The Algorithm, at The Alexandra.
Russell Howard is back at The Alexandra with his new tour, Don't Tell The Algorithm, which runs from 22 to 25 October. It's a straightforward stand-up show — just him on stage, no phones and no distractions. The title points to the theme, and the material follows suit.
If you've seen him before, this is a bit of a shift. He's grown darker, angrier and more satirical, and the sets cover a wide stretch of ground, from foreign policy to his own fear of death. It's a new tour, so you're getting fresh material rather than a best-of.
For those who only know him from the telly, Howard first came to mainstream attention on panel shows like Mock The Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and 8 of 10 Cats. The Bristolian has spent the last decade becoming one of the country's most beloved comics — seven years on from winning 'Weird Crush of the Year 2013', a title he's probably still hearing about. Critics describe his comedy as inimitable, sometimes rude but always cheerful and springy, and he spends a good deal of the set poking fun at the news and the people who make it. Audience reviews rate the shows around 4.8 stars.
