Russell Howard, Steve Williams, Steve Hall

Bristol Zoo Gardens is set to welcome one of Bristol’s funniest and most successful comedians, Russell Howard to do a special gig in aid of gorilla conservation, with proceeds going towards the Zoo’s gorilla conservation work.

Howard will be returning from sell out tours in Australia, New Zealand and USA to perform at the Zoo’s Giggle for Gorillas comedy event on Saturday 9th August, in front of an intimate crowd of less than 1400 people.

The Bristolian’s current tour, Wonderbox, shows “Howard doing what he does best.”**** (Ben Williams, Time Out). Expect the trademark brand of upbeat and razor-sharp comedy from the star and creator of the hit TV show, Russell Howard’s Good News.

Joining Russell will be acclaimed stand-ups Steve Williams and Steve Hall (both also writers on Good News), while the gig will be compered by Mark Olver.

The event will take place under-cover on the Zoo’s main lawn. Gates will open at 6.30pm, when guests will have the opportunity to explore the Zoo grounds after-hours before taking their seats to enjoy the comedy event from 8.15pm.
