English comedian Russell Howard is bringing Russell Howard Live—his biggest world tour yet—to India in February 2025. The UK comedy superstar will be hitting up Mumbai and Bengaluru early next year for the latest edition of The Loop by DeadAnt Live.  

You might know him from his TV shows The Russell Howard Hour and Good News, or from his regular appearances on the massively popular UK panel shows Mock The Week and 8 Out Of 10 Cats. Maybe you’ve stumbled upon one of his six standup specials, two of which are on Netflix, including 2021’s Lubricant—one part comedy special, one part pandemic survival guide. Or you’ve just scrolled past his countless comedy clips that have racked up over a billion views on social media. 

Either way, Howard is a comedic tour-de-force, packing out arenas all over the globe (this is his fourth world tour!). He’s sold over two million tickets worldwide, including a legendary ten-day run at London’s Royal Albert Hall that broke a record held by Frank Sinatra and Barry Manilow. He even holds the record—or at least did at one point—for the biggest standup show ever in China. He’s also got a podcast named Wonderbox, where he dives deep with A-list guests, and just launched another one called Goalless: A Soccer Show, which is pretty self-explanatory. Over-achiever much? 

Now, he’s hitting the road again—armed with sharp takes and a knack for finding hilarity in the human condition. Get your tickets for Mumbai and Bengaluru before they disappear, and catch Russell Howard at his best—live, uncensored, and undeniably himself. Dates and venue details below: 

Mumbai — 8 February 2025 — Sophia Bhabha Auditorium 

Bengaluru — 9 February 2025 — Good Shepherd Auditorium
