RUSSELL KANE (Pt 2.): Raving Lead To a Romantic Encounter That Changed His Life

In Part 2 of this incredible interview, Russell gets deep, discussing his love for raving, and how he met an upper class girl who opened his mind to the possibilities ofa life much greater than what was promised to him and how this completely changed his approach to life. He talks about living with his hilarious Nan, the secret sauce to what makes his comedy specials so powerful, how Russell Howard gave him advice that altered his comedic subject matter, his thoughts on Russell Brand's use of language and how it differs to his own and the advice he would give to anyone wanting to achieve a high level of success in comedy, that can be applied to any profession. We also chat his early life as salesman selling Rolex watches!

SHOW DESCRIPTION Part nostalgia trip, part confessional, part masterclass in unconventional success—this is no ordinary interview podcast. In Class Clown, Seann Walsh chats to the boldest rule-breakers in entertainment, uncovering the wild tales of childhood chaos, brushes with disaster, and the personal battles that shaped them. But beneath the mischief lies a powerful thread—how the very traits that caused trouble early on became the unexpected fuel for their biggest achievements. Expect laugh-out-loud memories, raw moments of vulnerability, and the kind of hard-won wisdom you won't hear anywhere else.
