Star-studded line-up for Wembley Arena

Russell Howard has been added to the massive Comic Relief fundraising gig at the Wembley SSE Arena next month.

He joins a star-studded line-up that also includes  Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr, John Bishop, Katherine Ryan, Sir Lenny Henry, Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett.

Howard said: ‘Gigs like this are great as they help Comic Relief raise vital funds that enable them to help people here in the UK and around the world. 

‘Back in 2017, I travelled to Liberia for Red Nose Day where I saw first-hand how Comic Relief cash was making a difference to lives over there. It was such an eye-opener, which is why I’m delighted to be joining forces with them again to take part in the first ever Comic Relief Spectacular.’

The gig takes place on Thursday February 28, and tickets are still available here.
