About this compilation

One of the forefathers of modern British Stand-up comedy, Alexei Sayle sits down with Russell to talk through his brilliant things and they show sides to Alexei that demonstrate the forces in him that make him such an interesting voice; nobody else has chosen both a poem and a gun among their brilliant things!

It’s a fascinating interview, not taken in a rush, that goes from demonstrations to Alexei’s formative years and his ill-fated experiments in Hollywood. . 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.
