Russell Howard: Recalibrate

5/24/18. An enjoyable comic with plenty of energy to spare as he frenetically works the stage. And, he can sing, too! Worth catching!

Russell is one of my favorite stand up comics today and I enjoyed this stand up special even tho it felt like a summary of The Russell Howard hour... which mean not much new material if you've watched that show and Russell Howard Good news in the past.

So, if you don't watch any of those shows then I guess you're in for a treat :)

It's mostly personal, it's a little bit political and it's funny !

First of all, I laughed so hard I had to pause the show several times just to catch my breath. Secondly, I just want to say that this was an extremely well put together show with a strong common thread througout the whole thing, a lot of important messages and beautiful personal, relatable stories. With a hint of madness I think we can all recognize in ourselves, he also shows empathy, understanding and intelligence by pointing out both what is wrong in this world and what we need to appreciate. To do this without being too dark, but rather leaving the audience with a sence of optimism and cheerfullness, is brilliant.

Russel Howard does it again! Great jokes, amazing presentation and so relatable. He repeats a couple of his old jokes, which you probably won't notice if you're not a huge fan, and if you are then you know his fresh material is totally worth it.

After being given a spare ticket to see him live recently reminding me just how good he was I watched this on a plane journey and reminded me once more just how funny Russell is could not contain my laughter at times making me look a little odd on the plane I'm sure but worth every second of funny looks I recurved!
