In this episode of Born Funny, Jimmy & Nath sit down with Russell Howard, one of the UK's most beloved and accomplished comedians. With a career that spans over two decades, he has captured the hearts of millions worldwide with his infectious humour and unique perspective on the world. The laughs start early as Russell recalls his introduction to the show, which featured Jimmy and Nath dressed as the jizz of KISS. Russell reflects on his early days growing up with nothing but walls to climb and time to let his imagination run wild – a stark contrast to today’s TikTok generation of comedians. He also shares a wild tale of receiving an unsolicited box of adult toys from Durex and explains the effort he went to disposing of them, and the awkward aftermath when his mum discovered the stash. From the surreal experiences of performing for world class jugglers to writing a joke about Ted Bundy that took him months to perfect, Russell gives a behind-the-scenes look at the highs, lows, and downright bizarre moments that come with being a comedian.
