Russell Howard's Good News

Everyone has different opinions of everything but it is clearer differences in comedy. I love Russell Howard's good news and I really enjoy the humor around current events and the crazy news stories they find. This does not mean in any way you will actually like it. This show is more fitting with younger audiences that can handle a little bit of offensive sex jokes, jokes about the royal family of England and other famous people. A certain grade of tolerance is needed.

If you are a teen or in your twenties you might like it. This is not really recommended for older audiences or people who are too mature to enjoy life. This show may make you laugh until you cry or make you send a complaint to BBC and everything in between. See it and decide for yourself. Personally I can't stop watching it.

Really weak-kneed comedy, desperately trying to be edgy. I believe he plays stadiums now, and in this intimate setting he still gives it the full stadium overkill. Compare to the subtle mutterings of Stewart Lee (unfair, I know) and Howard comes off like Cannon and Ball. A couple of titters, then I realised the audience were just going to fall about at anything he said - if he wasn't going to make the effort, why should I?

Absolutely brilliant show. Russell Howard is my favourite comedian and I can always count on this show delivering the laughs week after week. With Russell's wit and fabulous sense of humour, he delivers insights into the world of pop culture, politics, media and any other topic that takes his fancy at the time.

This is a laugh out loud show. Brilliant, with interesting special guests. If you love the English sense of humour, then this show is for you, and I'd definitely suggest on watching it right back from the very first episode.

Fantastic comedy.

Russell Howard is a new comedic face to me. His show is like a modern day version of the Clive James Show but with much less drollery and, possibly, not quite so interesting guests.

I keep watching even though there's something not quite a hit about this show. Russell picks up well on contemporary culture but the frequent and blatant references to bodily parts and functions can tend to wear after a while.

The humour is boyish-smutty which Russell carries off well given his looks. There is some wit in there but its generally overwhelmed.

The final segment of the show is always a 'feel good' story from the press which, again, can be hit or miss. Given Russell's persona I'll never be sure whether the segment is there to help tone down the previous material.

Worth giving a try if you don't recoil from brash, younger comedians.

Russell looks at stories in the news, with focus on the UK, Europe, and rest of the world.

The comedy is 'spot-on' with well timed skits, jokes, and commentary. Jokes frequently go full-circle and you'll see them well placed multiple times throughout the show.

For US fans this show is akin to The Daily Show or Colbert Report, just without a news desk; and at times is funnier, but the formula is similar: Current news, puns about it, skits, and finally a guest at the end.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Thank you Russell Howard.
