Russell Kane, Hammersmith Apollo

High-concept comedy needs razor-sharp timing and I suspect on other nights that's exactly what Russell Kane delivers, but here he fatally lost momentum an hour into an 80-minute show.

Russell Kane hasn't always been the ubiquitous-on-BBC3 type that he is today. Here is a look at the 2010 Edinburgh Comedy Festival show that bagged him awards and propelled him into the world of television.
