      Yeah. I love Russell. But for some reason I was taking a pass on this show. My mistake. I should have remembered he brings his beautiful heart to everything. And he's damn funny. I won't make that mistake again. 😄🌺

    "When the world is tearing itself apart, there's a little twinkly-eyed lady, making coffins for babies, so nobody has to think about it." -Russell Howard

    The incredible story about the Coffin Club just broke me!
    1) No-one should not be able to afford a coffin
    2) Making coffins, particularly for infants, so other people don't have to think about it is incredibly humbling and should be treasured.
    3) We can all learn from their perspectives on speaking about death openly and honestly. Not as a great tragedy, but as a fact of life.
    Thanks for the excellent tour

    Never seen Russell's shows, only knew him from panels and Taskmaster. I am trully amazed at how important it is for him to find the good in people and show it to us. When the world around you is so depressing, when people do such incredible evil - this video is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for reminding us that the world is a good place.
    I didn't even realised how much I needed it.
    Thanks.

    what a brilliant show! few comments:
    1) russell's hair during the stand-up looks like he has little hornes sticking out.
    2) bless those elderly people for making those coffins, especially the little ones. can't imagine how hard it is to take the emotional pressure of creating the resting place for a human who has barely been alive.
    3) that's the coolest karen i've ever seen.

    It takes a lot to make me cry nowadays. Partly due to antidepressants and the rest because I’m old in my soul…and a little ‘world weary’ but the last 2 minutes of the show? It pierced my heart with its utter honesty, simplicity and the eternal beauty of its sentiment. Love.

    We did the bombs they were doing into the water when I was growing up in L.A. but we called them 45s; as you wanted to try to get your back at a 45° angle to maximize splash. Crazy they do the same on the opposite side of the Pacific.

For 45minutes I have been completely distracted from the pain 💖
    The way Russell focuses on the people is just so lovely and wholesome and just soooo funny! So no matter how long this stupid injury lasts...at least I'm not a woodpecker.
