It was announced today, 7th November 2025, that following phenomenal demand – including over 130,000 tickets already sold and multiple dates selling out within hours – Russell Howard has added a further 20 shows, releasing more than 30,000 new tickets for his brand-new 2026 stand-up tour, Don’t Tell the Algorithm. This follows last month’s announcement, which saw 22 extra dates and over 40,000 tickets added to the tour.
Running from 22 January to 29 November 2026, Russell will now perform 118 shows across the UK and Ireland – including six performances at the iconic London Palladium and homecoming run of the same in Bristol. Additional dates across the tour include fifth and sixth shows in Manchester and Birmingham, fourth shows in Nottingham and Bath, third and fourth nights in Dublin, third shows in Newcastle, Swansea and York, and a second date in Sheffield.
New tickets on sale now, 10am, 7th November. Further information is available at Russell-Howard.co.uk.
After the global success of writing and starring in 182 episodes of The Russell Howard Hour (Sky) and Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC), as well as seven stand-up specials, Russell’s clips have been viewed over 1 billion times on social media, and he has sold more than 2 million tickets worldwide.
Spanning 237 gigs across 141 cities in 30 countries throughout Europe, North America, Oceania and Asia, Russell’s fourth and biggest world tour to date, Russell Howard Live, sold over 435,000 tickets. Earlier this year, during the record-breaking international run, he premiered Russell Howard Live at the London Palladium as an exclusive global stream. The 60-minute special captured him putting the world to rights in his uniquely hilarious way, with bonus content available only to stream audiences, and- for the first time – live conversations with fans around the world on launch night.
Russell’s previous world tours have seen him perform a record-breaking 10-night run at the Royal Albert Hall, overtaking eight in a row jointly held by Frank Sinatra and Barry Manilow, and play the biggest ever stand-up show in China.
