Russell Kane Author

Russell Kane is a British comedian, writer, actor, and presenter. He has two chart-topping, award-bagging podcasts: Man Baggage and BBC Radio 4’s Evil Genuis. He is a regular on Channel 4, BBC, and ITV: all the usual shows you see funny people on. He drinks lots of coffee and is ‘like that in real life’. He was the first ever comedian to bag the two most prestigious comedy awards on earth in the same year, for the same show: Dave’s Edinburgh Comedy Award (formerly the Perrier), and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award, (formerly known as the Barry Award). But most of all, Russel LOVES his pets. He has three cats: Terry the Burmese, Donna the Devon Rex and Bobbins the Ragdoll. He also has an elderly blind pug called Colin.
