Russell Howard quits TV after 19 years and explains reason


Comedian Russell Howard has announced that he is quitting television after almost two decades...

Russell has also had a Netflix special and documentary, offering a glimpse into his personal life, including the touching story of how he shared his bed for a year with his epileptic brother, Daniel, after a severe fit left him afraid of dying in his sleep. The comedian remembered how his brother would sleep in his bed every night, placing his leg against his as a precautionary measure in case he started to have a seizure. Thankfully, Daniel survived and even managed to lighten the mood when he regained consciousness by breaking wind, causing the rest of the Howard family to burst into laughter.
