Comedian Russell Howard on everything from his mom to John Oliver on q

Russell Howard is one of the U.K.'s most in-demand young comics. He joins Shad to discuss the difference between British and North American humour, his attitude toward bombing on stage, and why he doesn't buy the idea that cynicism is inherently funnier than positivity.

q is a magazine show that’s unpredictable in the best sense - proud to be “a wild mix of culture by way of Canada” as described by the New York Times. The Globe & Mail noted the show’s “raging popularity across a variety of platforms -- podcasts, television, websites, satellite radio, terrestrial radio, and occasional live remote broadcasts."
