SKY ANNOUNCE NEW TRAVELOGUE SERIES WITH RUSSELL HOWARD

Russell Howard’s Back to the Future stand up show will see Russell Howard travelling around New Zealand and Australia in this new travelogue punctuated by stand-up comedy. It will air this Summer on Sky One.

It follows the news that Sky One's topical comedy show The Russell Howard Hour has been renewed for a fifth and sixth series.

Series 5, due to air in 2021, will consist of 15 episodes. It will see Russell continue to offer his satirical take on global news, politics and the stories dominating the cultural zeitgeist.

Sky's Philip Edgar-Jones said: "Russell Howard is the sharpest comic on TV and we are thrilled that he’ll be restlessly and hilariously nailing our messed-up world for at least another two seasons on Sky One."
