Russell Howard: Don't Tell The Algorithm – new 2026 stand-up tour, two hours, 14+ guidance. Book tickets for Swansea and Birmingham.
Russell Howard brings his new stand-up show Don't Tell The Algorithm to UK venues in 2026. The show runs for two hours and carries a 14+ age guidance, with anyone under 16 required to sit alongside an accompanying adult.
The show's premise centres on live comedy as a counterpoint to algorithm-driven content consumption. Howard's pitch, drawn directly from the tour's own description, is a room with no phones and no distractions, just people and jokes. It is a solo stand-up performance by Russell Howard, not a tribute act or a screening.
The show lasts two hours. Age guidance is 14+, and any attendee under 16 must be accompanied by an adult and seated beside them. Venue-specific rules should be confirmed with the relevant venue directly, as conditions may vary.
These are the dates listed by ATG as checked on 21 September 2026. A date range may contain selected performances, rather than a show every day. Open your chosen venue link for exact times, seats and current prices.
