About this episode

Do you want to show Rhys James a good time? All you need to do is take him to a hotel gym with Harry Styles, under the influence of general anaesthetic. At least…that’s what we have taken away from this fantastically breezy, genial show with the Mock the Week star (well…two of them really). Rhys’s Five Things include being rendered senseless, having that first pint after a sporting endeavour and the enigmatic Harry Styles.

As you can tell from the show you just listened to (or are about to consume?) Rhys is an expert comedian, and he’s got a new show on the road from September this year. It’s called ‘Chop Logic’ and you can find out all the dates and buy those tickets by going to rhysjames.co.uk

The show will also be at the Pleasance Courtyard in Edinburgh for 14 nights if you happen to be there. . Welcome to the official Russell Howard channel! Be sure to subscribe to watch the very best Russell Howard stand up clips, and clips from his brand new podcast Five Brilliant Things.
