Sam Russell - born in a domestic bathroom, 1989. At 5 he once did stand-up at a family friend´s birthday and got shouted at for being too mean to the guests.

Traumatised, he took an 18-year gap from comedy.

In 2011, Sam co-founded the improv group SHOOT FROM THE HIP!, performing a 2 hour show at the TOP SECRET COMEDY CLUB every week in Covent Garden since November 2011.

And in January 2014, SFTH started their second residency at ANGEL COMEDY, every Monday night: Meaning that at a conservative estimate Sam has done over 1000 hours of comedy improv.

In 2014, a comedian at Top Secret saw Sam do the opening 10 minutes of crowd work and warm up for the improv show, asking him if he would like to try some stand up at his night in London Bridge. Nervously saying yes… it turned out to the start of a career in stand up comedy.

Becoming a regular of the London Comedy Circuit, Sam now performs around the country and internationally.

If you want to see Sam perform, a safe bet is Angel Comedy on Thursdays where he is the regular host.

In 2017, Sam also started hosting the political Talk Show, Off The Mic for YouTube.
