Russell Howard sets stand-up record in China
Russell Howard has performed the biggest ever stand-up show in China, playing to a full house at Shanghai Yihai Theatre last night, as part of his Round The World tour.
The news coincides with a routine from his 2014 stand-up tour, Wonderbox, going viral in the country. The clip, which features Mandarin subtitles, has now been viewed over 12 million times in China.
Meanwhile, the UK video of the routine, which focuses on a sick fan's triumph over adversity, is now approaching 4 million viewers.
This is not the first record Howard has broken during his Round The World Tour. Earlier in the year he played ten consecutive shows at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall which overtook the record of 8-in-a-row, jointly held by Frank Sinatra in the 70s and Barry Manilow in the 90s.
Howard is set to continue his Round The World, next visiting Australia, Europe and New Zealand. Tickets
