In case you missed it, DeadAnt Live announced the third edition of live property The Loop, featuring UK comedy superstar Russell Howard. Known for his political comedy and satirical takes on current affairs—as seen on UK TV shows The Russell Howard Hour and Good News—the comedian is set to bring his biggest-selling world tour yet to India in February 2025. Howard will be hitting up Mumbai on 8 February and Bengaluru on 9 February next year to perform his latest hour Russell Howard Live.
If you’re not too familiar with the big man’s work, don’t worry. With a little over two months to go before he touches down in India, you’ve got plenty of time to catch up. And trust us, there’s a lot to go through. There’s the two TV shows, and many years’ worth of appearances on popular UK panel shows like Mock The Week and 8 Out of Ten Cats. There are six standup specials, with two available on Netflix—Recalibrate and Lubricant. And there’s hours of standup clips on social media, which have racked up over a billion views.
That’s enough to keep you busy for a solid two-three weeks, if you do nothing other than watch his material. Yeah, it’s a lot. Yes, you’re not even sure where to start. But that’s okay. Let your friendly neighbourhood comedy nerds give you the down-low. Here’s our very own Russell Howard starter pack—a curation of must-watch videos that showcase the many facets of his humour, specially picked by the DeadAnt team. Pick one, hit play, and down the Howard rabbit-hole you go!
