Comedian Russell Howard returns to Portugal to mend past relationships
Renowned British comedian Russell Howard is set to perform in Lisbon on 9 April and Porto on 10 April, marking his return to Portugal after a previous visit for a friendly football match.
Known for his engaging and relatable stand-up comedy, Howard tailors some content of his show based on the location he is performing in, making each performance a unique experience for the audience. His upcoming shows in Portugal will be no exception.
Howard has a keen interest in learning about local politics, phrases, and trivia before each performance, ensuring he connects with his audience on a deeper level. This approach has earned him a reputation for being respectful and curious about different cultures.
Despite the language barriers, the comedian finds the Portuguese surprised that an Englishman is poor with language. However, he expresses gratitude towards the Portuguese audience for being open-minded and listening to him in their second language.
During his last Portuguese gig, Howard spoke about Fado, a type of sad music in Portugal, despite the country seeming beautiful to him. He also mentioned a seagull incident involving a Portuguese man and English tourists, providing a local flavour to his comedy.
Unfortunately, he has encountered language issues while performing in Portugal, specifically misremembering a phrase that describes a beautiful woman. In light of this, he plans to apologize for his language mistake during his upcoming performances.
After the performances, Howard plans to spend time with his wife and baby son in Portugal, taking the opportunity to explore the country further. He has already visited Lisbon, where he was impressed by the Time Out food hall and even took a ride on the city's iconic trams.
Howard, who is currently on a tour called Russell Howard Live, is one of the UK's most successful stand-up comedians, having sold over two million tickets worldwide for his stand-up comedy specials. His tour is taking him across the UK, America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Portugal, and more.
In addition to his comedy tour, Howard has plans for a rematch in Cascais, but the return of full kits is uncertain. Fans in Portugal and beyond are eagerly awaiting his upcoming performances, ready to laugh and share in his unique brand of comedy.
