About this show
Whirlwind, Fitbit-breaking comedian, presenter, actor and author Russell Kane returns to the city where he won the coveted Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show back in 2010. Now he's back, with his unique recipe of sharp wit and 'storming physical comedy' (Mail On Sunday). Safety warning: wear strong underwear. Pants will be spoiled. 'Fierce, funny and heartfelt... a thrilling reminder of what comedy can do' (Guardian). 'An evening-long fix of stand-up espresso' (Times). 'Russell Kane has made his name with verbose, hyperactive comedy – and he shows no sign of slowing down' (i Paper).

It took me a little while to get into Russell Kane’s rhythm — and the sound system wasn’t helping — but once I did, I loved where he went.
