Russell Howard returns to Netflix with a two-part instalment featuring his second stand-up comedy special for the platform - Lubricant, in which he strives to make sense of a world that is spinning out of control - and a documentary mapping his attempts to keep performing throughout the Covid 19 pandemic, Until The Wheels Come Off.

In 2019 Russell Howard was about to prepare for the biggest world tour of his career. He had just got married, was turning 40 and was celebrating his 20th year in comedy. For the first time in his career, he was allowing cameras to follow his life and witness one of the world's biggest comedians performing at the peak of his powers, whilst also navigating huge changes in his personal life. Then bats got involved...

As Russell's wife resumed duties on the NHS front line, he was sent to his parents to lockdown in his childhood bedroom. What followed was 18 months of the strangest gigs of his career - the starting, the stopping, the tents, the stadiums, and even travelling across the world to New Zealand, culminating with taping his latest stand-up special in London.
