DVD Description

The new DVD from Russell Kane's live tour.
Russell Kane Live Smokescreens & Castles
Winner of the 2010 Edinburgh Comedy Award

Don’t miss this opportunity to see star of Comedy Rocks and co-host of ITV2’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here NOW! in his debut Live Stand-Up DVD. The 2010 Edinburgh Comedy Award winning show Smokescreens & Castles explores self, family and the consequences of Russell’s dad buying his own council house. Sociological silliness and high energy contortions guaranteed on this brand new live stand-up DVD.

★★★★★ A seriously good comedian. The Times

★★★★★ A thought-provoking filial tour de force. Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph

“Russell Kane's new show is the finest of his career. Extremely funny, poignant and fuelled by real intelligence and passion.” Tim Arthur, Time Out Live

I'm going to start this review by saying that this was the comedy dvd I was most looking forward to this year, so I'm probably biased. I'm delighted to say tht it didn't disappoint at all.

The show itself is fantastic. Having seen it live, I knew it would be a great spectacle on dvd, but seeing it in front of a hometown audience was a treat. Watching a comedian perform, holding the audience in the palm of his hand and having them clinging onto every word he says, is a brilliant sight. Russell performs with such high energy that it keeps you enthralled all the way through.

The dvd also comes with a couple of extras. There's an interview with Russell's mom, which is both interesting and informative, and the clip of his first ever televised performance (with optional commentary by Russell), which is very funny. It was also quite nice on a personal note, because it made me realise that I saw that show on its first broadcast, and have followed Russell ever since.

Overall, it's a brilliant dvd, showing off one of the best (and hardest working) stand up's in the country. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Well, took my wife and son to see Russell at Lichfield, he even had the cheek to pick on my son and also take the mickey out of the better arf. We never enjoyed a show so much and so I invested in this dvd of his previous show. He's so quick witted, intelligent and can sing through humor and hit the top note of his jokes with a nuke. So, if you haven't seen his show and only snippets of his material on the many tv shows he's appeared on recently, not to mention family fortunes... (he didn't arf look nervous on that one, poor chap), then go and treat yourself, and your family, as we all cried laughing... keep up the great work Russell...all the best.

Just Enjoy the Show
Russell Kane is a very funny man. His greatest skill is mimicry of the classes, with his own observations and style which are unique. Read more

Brilliantly Funny
This has to be one of the funniest DVDs I have ever seen. If you don't find this funny then you haven't got a sense of humour. Read more

Uncomfortable viewing
Having enjoyed watching Russell on many TV panel shows and his 'One night Stand' on Dave, I was really looking forward to seeing this DVD. However, I was quite disappointed. Read more
