Honestly, if you’ve seen the amount of energy Russell Kane puts into his shows… He’s probably going to need a long sit down on a horse with a glass of *#&%ing wine after all that… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JWTQ0HPuPE&feature=fvw – so bad it’s not even slightly funny. I sat through it all, Kane!! Nothing like his stand-up shows, though, so don’t be too put off by how monumentally bad this video is.
