In the absence of his scheduled performances, Howard became a surprise addition to the first Lakota Gardens programme upon its opening in July, testing new material in front a sell-out hometown audience.

 

The performances became the catalyst for a busy season of live comedy for Lakota, with Ed Gamble, Phil Wang and Fern Brady among the headliners.

Over the last few years Howard has found international fame with his own hit shows, including Russell Howard's Good News on BBC Three and The Russell Howard Hour on Sky, and performed several sell-out world tours.
