Russell Howard announces Bradford show as sell-out UK tour extends into 2027

Russell Howard is bringing his stand-up tour to Bradford after huge demand saw the comedian add a string of extra UK dates for 2027.

The much-loved comic will bring his Don't Tell The Algorithm tour to St George's Hall on July 24, 2027, following the success of his nationwide 2026 dates.

Howard's original tour schedule included performances in nearby Leeds Grand Theatre in May 2026, but there were no Bradford dates announced at the time.

However, fans in the district will now get the chance to see the comedian closer to home after Bradford was added to a new batch of 2027 shows.

Announcing the extension on social media, Howard said: "Bradford! Following a sold out 2026 tour, I'm extending Don't Tell The Algorithm into 2027."

New dates added across the country

The Bradford date is one of several additional shows added across the UK and follows strong demand for tickets throughout the comedian's 2026 tour, with many performances selling out and others adding extra dates.

Howard is one of Britain's best-known stand-up comics and television personalities.

He hosted Russell Howard's Good News on the BBC between 2009 and 2015, combining stand-up comedy with satirical takes on the week's biggest stories.

He later fronted The Russell Howard Hour on Sky, where he offered his views on current affairs and interviewed high-profile guests.

The comedian is also known for his live arena shows and his podcasts, Russell Howard's Five Brilliant Things and football-themed podcast GoalLess.
