I used to think the stories of his mom were quite over exaggerated just for his act but after watching the programs they did together, Russell Howard & Mum, she's exactly how he describes, she's a bit crazy & hilarious

[@finnhalf1663]

His whole family is a bit off the rails but ther hilarious 😂 😂

imagine if all news interviews were like this.the world would be a well more grounded comical planet.which is possible with less wars.i love it.and hope we all end up going this way.very soon.

[@isabellaangeline2175]

Russell definitely gets his sense of humor from his mom. She’s funny and the shows they do together are so hilarious. Also, having seen his dad on here once, they’re a good looking family.

[@SunshineSuperstar]

I definitely agree with that first sentence. He certainly does have the sense of humour if a woman!

[@peterjf7723]

l liked the story about the stoned guy arrested for swerving to avoid a nonexistent octopus. Years ago a mate consumed a mix of magic mushrooms, vodka and cannabis. He vanished for a few days and on his return said that he had been avoiding demons and to then had a conversation with a blue light in a language he didn't understand.

[@justinress2782]

21:10 this has to be the most underrated moment in Taskmaster history. He called his shot, made it and walked off with a great oneliner. He didn’t even bother to put down his jacket. This is the reverse potato throw.

[@eckoschreiber]

And as with Joe Wilkinsons potatoe throw he sligthly overstepped, if I remember correctly;o) Still impressive! (Though I prefer, if the contestans find a clever way around the task phrasing, rather than approaching them head on.) Also when he puts down his jacket... and sweater... impressive!^^

[@boiledegggaming8424]

Which series of taskmaster was that in?

[@methoril]

@@boiledegggaming8424 Series 6

[@laraneville9952]

The fun in Taskmaster is seeing the comedians struggling / being crazy or creative, but there's something just so satisfying about Russel's cool demonstration of physicality and skill with those bails

[@James-yv8nk]

When they needed that grit machine named, I’m surprised nobody came up with *Garry Gritter*

[@xRiizo]

I can't get over that they allowed the cricket throw even though he was past the stump when he threw it, but when Joe threw the spud into the hole it was dissallowed.

[@baconliontigers985]

Yeah but his back foot was behind it and in actual cricket the crease is about a step forward of the stumps

[@JargonMadjin]

The absolute swagger is probably why they allowed it

[@gothmummiagain]

I have never read a comment so many times and been more confused every time! ( I don't know cricket at all lol)

[@Eccentric_Villain]

Like the Brits, Aussie’s like takin’ the piss. This type of humour makes One chortle until no breath is left.

Where can I get the candles?

[@Laudon1228]

I’ve been wondering, do they not do strabismus surgery in the UK? IIRC, there has been another comedian on Mock the Week who has strabismus. If parents seek treatment for their child in childhood, the earlier the better, it can be corrected, and surgery won’t even be necessary. I can almost understand the NHS being too cheap to pay for surgery for a condition that isn’t life threatening or cause chronic pain or disability, but eye patches and special glasses in early childhood are a hell of a lot cheaper.
