"Stand-up comedy is a drug" ... with Russell Kane
We think stand-up comedy is possibly one of the most terrifying professions on the planet - and today, we’re speaking to a man who has mastered it. In this episode, we’re speaking to the multi-award-winning comedian, presenter, actor, author, and scriptwriter Russell Kane.He tells us about this experience growing up funny in a working class household with a hyper-masculine father and how that experience built his career and how it has been reflected in his own attitude to fatherhood. This conversation goes so much further than comedy - as we touch on everything from evolutionary biology, male sperm counts to emotional vulnerability - to unpack what Russell sees as a new vision for young men.
