Russell Kane is G17 host
October 2017

Multi-award winning comedian, presenter, actor, author and scriptwriter Russell Kane is to host the G17 Awards and gala dinner at the London Hilton on Park Lane on Friday November 17, following a long line of top comedians who have hosted the event in past years.

Russell is best known for BBC3’s Stupid Man, Smart Phone and the host of three series of BBC3‘s Live At The Electric. 

Other TV appearances include BBC1’s Live At The Apollo, BBC3’s Unzipped, ITV2’s Celebrity Juice and I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here Now. 

Winner of Best Show in 2010 at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, Russell went on to make history as the first comedian to win both the Edinburgh Award and Melbourne Comedy Festival’s Barry Award in one year. 

He has recently finished his sell-out UK Tour, Right Man, Wrong Age, and is breaking new ground by launching Facebook’s first broadcast ready show ‘The Kaneing Live’.
