Howard's winning hand as a comic is that he has a deft way with words, a quicksilver ability to ad-lib, youthful good looks, a lithe athleticism, and a quality of complicity that makes his chatter sound as if he has invited each and every one of his audience home for tea and a mischievous giggle.
His demographic seem as youthful as he is, but there’s more to him than superficial appeal: anyone wanting an uplifting escape from cynicism will find it here.
I was unfortunate enough to witness the show at the Apollo, dragged there by a group of friends who insisted Russell Howard was 'really funny'.
Yes he was topical, (at the time, stuff on the will obviously be about a year out of date now) but I doubt stories about Sarah Palin and BGT will cut much swathe now. Some of the stories from his life almost got me smiling, almost.
Unfortunately enthusiasm and leaping about doesn't make up for a lack of talent.
Unless the DVD has material totally different to the show I saw then avoid it, you WILL be disappointed.
Not quite as bad as Paddy Mcguinness Live, but bloody close!
