Russell Kane

Who is Russell Kane?

My family originally hailed from Leigh-on-Sea and Westcliff-on-Sea on the sunny Essex peninsula.
By the time I popped out of mum we were living in North London. I was raised, and at the same time paradoxically lowered, on the lovely councilly streets of Brimsdown, Enfield.
After uninspiring drug-assisted exam failures, I ended up working in a shop. Then I thought: “Sod this, what’s Nineteenth Century Realism like?” and went and got a gleaming First in English.
After that I worked in an office for bit - and that’s when it happened...
A dare. A curiosity. A one off. A ‘let’s see what’ll happen’.
And I had a go at stand-up comedy.
