Russell never knew he was going to be a stand-up comedian. In 2011 his wife signed him up for his first gig without telling him, only to find out on the night. The rest, as they say, are clichés.
Adelaide Fringe 2018 saw Russell make his debut solo hour with “A Light and a Whistle”. His follow up 2019 show, “Age of Wonder” received a 4 star review by Channel 44, saying “you will leave filled with joy”.
In 2020 Russell wrote for the TV show The Leak and was part of the showcase line up, Adelaide Comedy Next Gen. Riding the wave of post pandemic* optimism performed a sold out season in 2021 as part of “The Rule of 3”.
Russell wrote and performed the comedy half of “Caught in the cross-wire” which was heralded by Glam Adelaide as one of the “Five Funny Fringe Shows You Must See In 2016.
