RUSSELL Howard will try out fresh material, much of it unplanned and unscripted, as he prepares for a new Comedy Central series at an already sold-out show the Arts Centre on Saturday.
His 2011 sell-out arena tour Right Here, Right Now played to more than 300,000 fans including three sold out dates at the 15,000 seater O2 Arena.
He returned to the stage in 2014 with his arena tour, Wonderbox, including four shows at the Royal Albert Hall and a string of international dates.
Russell is the writer and star of BBC Three's most successful entertainment show Russell Howard's Good News.
The eighth series began in Spring 2013; since its debut in 2009 ratings have grown from 1.7 million a week to a peak of over 3.9 million.
The success of the show saw series six move to the new prime-time slot of 9pm where ratings rose to a peak of over five million weekly viewers across TV and iPlayer.
