About this episode

It's only John flippin' Oliver! One of Britain's most-loved exports after cheddar cheese and trains, John Oliver is the host of US late-night show Last Week Tonight as well as being a sensational stand-up comic in his own right. John reveals what it's like to do a gig to one person, why Michael Bolton is a bona fide comedy hero and reveals when, how and why he likes dressing as a cat. Russell is touring the UK right now with his latest live show, which is among the best work he's ever produced. Honestly, I'm not sure why you haven't been already.
