Russell Howard is mainstay British comedian around the world.

His stand up and TV shows have become massive, with a global audience of hundreds of millions of people.

He was in the country at the beginning of the year on a tour, one of the first international acts to head to our shores post-pandemic.

Howard also toured Australia, so he decided to make a TV show about both countries along the way.

It's titled Russell Howard Stands Up to the World - and it's available on TVNZ on demand now.

Russell Howard joined Mike Hosking from Britain.
