Playing 'in the round' in 2017

Russell Howard has announced his return to the live stage for the first time in three years.

For the Round The World tour in 2017, Howard will play London and a further 29 international cities including: New York, Wellington, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Sydney, Oslo, Washington DC, Chicago, Dublin, Helsinki, Vancouver, Reykjavik, Melbourne and San Francisco.

He will also play ‘in the round’ whenever possible.

However, his ten nights at London's Royal Albert Hall, from March 1 to 10, are the only UK dates announced.

Howard's international dates coincide with his efforts to build an overseas audience by making Good News available online in countries where it is not screened by any broadcaster.

Wonderbox, his previous international tour, took place last year, when he entertained 285,000 fans at 40 shows across the UK and Ireland, as well as runs in the USA, Australia and New Zealand.
