QUOTES BY Russell Howard

I'm quite good at talking about things I care about.

You can make bleak things funny but if you're glib about it, it doesn't work.

Whenever I come to Ireland, I end up just bantering with the crowd so the show will just be what it is.

I get panic attacks about dying, it's terrible. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and my brain goes 'you're going to die, you're going to die, you're going to die.'

I spent a lot of my childhood sat on a wall thinking, waiting for my mum to pick me up.

My Mum is not used to being in-front of camera.

Whenever the word 'weird' is mentioned it can only be an insult.

I'm happy when I'm working.

Neither me or my wife are any good at cooking.

I'm not really a cake man. I'm more a savoury guy.

Oddly, I am really cool under pressure.
