Comedian Russell Howard will hit the road in 2026 with his new stand-up tour “Don't Tell the Algorithm'.

Kicking off on 22nd January 2026, Howard will embark on a 74-show tour across the UK and Ireland, taking in four nights at London’s iconic Palladium and a three-night homecoming run in Bristol. Along the way, he’ll play multiple dates in cities including Nottingham, Bath, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow, Oxford, Leeds, Aberdeen, Dublin, Birmingham, York and Brighton, with further stops in Edinburgh, Sheffield, Belfast, Cardiff and Swansea, before closing on 28th November.

Tickets go on pre-sale at 10am on Wednesday 24th September, with general sale from 10am on Friday 26th September. Further information is available at Russell-Howard.co.uk.

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.

Howard’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.
