Classic interview: Russell Howard
One day your children will say to you "what's a DVD?". You can simply plug their hologooglegizmo into this article and give them the answer. Back in 2009 comedy DVDs were selling by the truckload. People still actually bought things in shops and slid them into machines. While Michael McIntyre, Lee Evans and Peter Kay were the big sellers Russell Howard was comedy's rising star. I interviewed him for The Times in Brighton in sunny June where he was shooting his live DVD for a Christmas release. Five years on Howard is very much in the premier league, taking his feelgood banter around the globe.

Ava Vidal, The Telegraph, 21st March 2014Is this proof the TV chat show is dead?
