Multi-award-winning comedian, presenter, actor, author and scriptwriter Russell Kane is a regular on Channel 4, BBC, and ITV with recent TV appearances include The Apprentice You’re Fired, The One Show, Live at the Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, Antiques Road Trip, Stupid Man, Smart Phone as well as regular appearances on Steph’s Packed Lunch.
His chart-smashing BBC Radio 4 / BBC Sounds podcast show Evil Genius quickly became a flagship show and was the best performing original podcast on the platform. It was so popular it was even turned into TV by BBC Studios for Sky TV. Russell also recently helped present a prime-time, conversation-changing documentary about men’s bodies and sperm counts on Channel 4’s Celebrity Save Our Sperm.
Winner of Best Show in 2010 at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, Russell went on to make history as the first comedian to win both the Edinburgh Comedy Award and Melbourne Comedy Festival’s Barry Award in one year.
As ever, Russell also continues to provide his ever-popular topical online rants known as ‘Kaneings’. He can also be seen live at sold-out theatres on his nationwide tour HyperActive.
‘True to form, the show is defined by Kane’s hyperkinetic performance energising the room. He must do his 10,000 daily steps in an hour, purposefully striding the full width of the stage, as well as scrambling on the floor or contorting his body into dramatic poses to make a point... he certainly has a spring in his step... and it's very infectious.’
