Russell Howard is a British comedian who sometimes, though not very often, makes me laugh. However, in this video, cribbed from one of his standup shows, he outdoes himself.
This anecdote takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. From sadness at the thought of a young kid with cancer, to delight at the idea that that same kid could be pranking a comedian.
If you’re going to watch this video then I urge you to watch all the way to the end. If nothing else, it’s funny, which makes it worth six minutes of your time.
I’m always amazed at the strength displayed by kids with cancer, as they put some of us to shame with their stoic attitude to life. And Russell Howard’s friend is a prime example.
