Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2010 Russell Kane returns to the Fringe with his brand new show Manscaping. He will mercilessly explore the ridiculous state of masculinity in the modern world. He shaves his chest fur; you watch and laugh.

In the last year Russell has achieved what no other comedian has managed - winning both the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award and the Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the two most prestigious prizes in comedy - with his stand-up show Smokescreens & Castles. Russell then went on to tour the show around the country and is set to launch his debut DVD of the same show in November this year with Universal Pictures UK. In the last year Russell has become a regular on TV and radio, appearing on a host of shows including Mock the Week (BBC Two), It's Your Round (BBC Radio 4), A Good Read (BBC Radio 4), The Graham Norton Show (BBC One), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Live at the Apollo (BBC One) and who can forget when Russell stormed into the Let's Dance for Comic Relief (BBC One) final following a bootylicious performance of Beyoncé's Crazy in Love - watched by 7.56m on BBC One? He also starred as the series regular on all six episodes of ITV1's flagship comedy showcase, Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford and returned to the Jungle to co-host the TRIC-award nominated I'm A Celebrity... (ITV2) live every night from the jungle. Russell's new radio show, Russell Kane's Whistle Stop Tour, will air in August on BBC Radio 2.
