Russell Howard

Last night, I treated myself to something I don’t usually bother with.

That’s right: Comedy.
Last night, we headed off to St. George’s Hall in Bradford to see Russell Howard and it was amazing.
Five stars, definitely.

From the actual act (mainly about old women and cornish pasties) to the odd Q&A at the end, it was pure entertainment.

In fact, one of the questions was, “Will you sign my shoe?”
Russell replied, “If you come down to the stage,”
So the audience member threw the shoe down to the stage and started running to get from the dress circle, where he was sat, to the stage as quickly as he could.
Meanwhile, Russell sent his support act out (Steve Hall) and Steve proceeded to put the shoe down his trousers.
What happened next was a magnificent blur, but I will tell you this. When Russell left, his leaving line was:
“Goodbye Bradford, you’ve been amazing. This has been the funnest gig I’ve done in ages, mainly because Steve’s rod fell out,”
No exaggerations.

If it weren’t one of his last dates on the tour, I would definitely contemplated going to see him again. His live DVD is definitely on my Christmas list this year!

Afterwards, he signed some of the merchandise and we took a picture with him and Steve Hall. Everyone’s jealous.
