Russell Hicks: Happy To Be Here

Russell Hicks heads out on his first tour, but not his first rodeo. (Warning: This is a stand up show. NOT a rodeo.) Russell Hicks is here to stay and he really is happy to be here. So, why don’t British People believe him?

Hot off the back of a starring role in an Amazon Prime show that nobody watched, and was cancelled immediately, American Stand Up comedian Russell Hicks, lives in the UK where he allegedly performs stand-up comedy. Naturally, his parents still think he makes his money through some kind of illegal activity, so buy some tickets and help prove his legitimacy!

You may have heard Russell as the voice of Sky Comedy, seen him entertain studio audiences at ‘Have I Got News for You’ or caught him opening for the likes of Al Murray or ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ winner Axel Blake. He’s performed up and down this country, picking up three Leicester Festival nominations along the way. He’s even been officially declared a Global Talent by Arts Council England.

Known for his improvised performances, Russell Hicks has amassed millions of views online, and gained a devoted following of fans who’ve come to know that no two shows will be the same. Considered one of the best improvisers in the country, Russell has appeared on some of the UK’s biggest networks. He has starred in several episodes of ITV’s ‘Stand Up Sketch Show,’ and won the Channel 4 competition series ‘Captive Audience’ with his fully improvised comedy, and starred in Prime Video series

‘Lovestruck High’ narrated by Lindsay Lohan as the loveable Texan Coach Hughes.

We just wanted to thank you all for an amazing show last night. We had a blast performing and working with you all. Thanks also to Taylor and Dylan and wow, we love your security guards. Thanks so much! Hope to see you again sometime 🙂

Thank you for hosting me! It was such a pleasure working with your incredible team. I felt truly looked after. Special shout-out to Steve and Misti on tech—you’re both stars 🧡

Thanks again for having me last week. I was very, very happy… and my first solo show in Brighton! Thrilled we got such a good crowd.

A MASSIVE thank you for making us feel so welcome and for all your support you gave us. Thank you to Steve (our Technician on the night) and Taylor (behind the bar) for being sooo brilliant and helpful. Big thank you to the doorman at Komedia for being so lovely too! 😊

The accessibility at Comic Boom Comedy Club was absolutely brilliant. I had emailed beforehand and your communication about accessibility was great. The staff at the event were also great. I really appreciate how easy it was in a wheelchair as not all venues are so accommodating.

Once again, great fun at the [Komedia Comedy] club! The crowds were great and the staff is second to none. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for having me, it’s always a blast.

Thanks very much for last night. Genuinely one of the nicest spaces I’ve been to, and the whole team was so helpful and kind. We all felt very valued and cared for. It’s an excellent space and crowd, and I’d love to come back any time!

I always enjoy comedy at the Komedia. The venue is perfect for a comedy club – low ceilings and intimate, but also space for a good sized audience.

Another fantastic evening at Komedia’s Comedy Club! … the best way to spend your Friday or Saturday night in Brighton.
