Russell Howard presents new show for 6 Music
|
Award-winning comedian Russell Howard is to present a new show for 大象传媒 6 Music.
听
Russell's Sunday morning show will start on Sunday 12 November 2006 (10am-1pm).
听
Lesley Douglas, Controller, 6 Music, says: "I'm really pleased that Russell Howard is joining 6 Music. He is one of the most exciting stand-up comics around.
听
"And yes, you have to be called Russell to present a show in this slot!"
听
Russell is taking over the slot from Russell Brand who moves to 大象传媒 Radio 2.
听
Russell Howard currently co-hosts the Saturday lunchtime show Out To Lunch on Radio 2 with fellow comedian Rob Deering.
听
Howard, famed for his off the cuff improvisational style, was recently nominated for an If.Comeddie (formally Perrier) award for his 2006 Edinburgh show Wandering.
听
The show was described in a four-star review in the Guardian as: "if you're in the mood for some freewheeling stories, anecdotes and a young comic with enough energy to power a small country, Wandering is the show you're after... a superbly funny ride."
听
And the London Evening Standard declared that Russell was "destined for major greatness".
听
Although only 26, he has already completed three critically-acclaimed sell out runs at the Edinburgh Festival, performed on the Edinburgh and Beyond TV show for Paramount Comedy as well as appearing at numerous comedy festivals, and as a panellist on 大象传媒 Two's Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Mock The Week.
听
He has also performed on a wide range of radio shows including the Arthur Smith Lectures on Radio 2 and both Loose Ends and Banter on 大象传媒 Radio 4.
听
Russell Howard says: "I'm delighted and a little bit giddy to be joining 6 Music as it is a cutting edge station with a wonderful creative approach and is undoubtedly one of the coolest places to be."
