CRITICALLY acclaimed “comedy superstar” and one of the best-selling acts in British stand-up is doing back-to-back shows to the Midlands next week.

Russell Howard, host of the smash hit TV show Russell Howard’s Good News, is bringing his first stage show for three years to Birmingham’s Genting Arena.

Demand to grab tickets has led to Russell adding a second date in Birmingham for the Round The World show – his biggest global tour to date – and he will now be performing at the venue on Friday, March 17, and Saturday, March 18.

The comedian first came to national prominence in 2007 when he joined Mock the Week as a regular panellist, since then he has gone on to become one of the biggest names in British stand-up.

Tickets, from £34.45, are available now from www.theticketfactory.com, or by calling 0844 3388 222.
