Russell Kane ‘Right Man, Wrong Age’

RUSSELL KANE ‘RIGHT MAN, WRONG AGE’

** UK & IRELAND TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED FOR SPRING 2017 **

"A seriously good comedian" ★★★★★ - The Times "…at the top of his game” - The Guardian “storming physical comedy” - Mail On Sunday

Russell Kane has finally completed puberty. It turns out, that whichever age you are (or pretending to be), getting older doesn’t help you mature. Yet, Russell has at last found his reason to grow up, and it’s one of the biggest. It’s time to comb his hair - and act like a man. Well a bit, anyway…

Following a sold-out 2016 tour Russell Kane has announced he is extending his critically acclaimed show ‘Right Man, Wrong Age’ throughout spring 2017. With brand new dates announced across the UK and Ireland, including one night only at London’s legendary Eventim Apollo, Russell will be unleashing yet another blisteringly funny stand-up performance about growing up, growing down, and why farts will always be funny. Tickets are on sale now, with full dates and listings information below.

Multi-award winning comedian, presenter, actor, author and scriptwriter Russell Kane is best known as the star of BBC3’s Stupid Man, Smart Phone and host of three series of BBC3‘s Live At The Electric, with appearances on BBC’s Live At The Apollo, BBC1’s Children In Need, BBC1’s Question Time, BBC3’s Unzipped, ITV2’s Celebrity Juice and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Now!

Russell was nominated four times for prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Awards before winning ‘Best Show’ in 2010. He then went onto make history as the first comedian to win both the Edinburgh Comedy Award and Melbourne Comedy Festival’s Barry Award in one year.

Russell has also released two best-selling DVDs; his award-winning show Smokescreens & Castles was recorded in front of his home crowd at the Palace Theatre in Westcliff-on-Sea in 2011, and Russell’s newest DVD, a special one off show ‘Russell Kane Live’, was recorded in London’s West End in October 2015. Both are available now through Universal Pictures (UK).

Russell is currently host of the ‘The Saturday Show’ as part of the highly anticipated re-launch of Virgin Radio. Alongside Angela Scanlon, the duo kick off the weekend in style every Saturday from 10am - 1pm.
