American comic Russell Hicks is set to bring his stateside comedy to Berkshire as part of a UK tour.
The London-based comedian, known for his razor-sharp wit and masterful improvisation, will be touring across the country in 2026 with his latest performance This Time It’s Personal.
He will take to the stage at Norden Farm Centre in Maidenhead on March 19.
Hicks, who last year explored his life in the UK on stage, is now turning the focus firmly on himself.
Fresh from winning the Prague Fringe Festival in 2024, he has spent 2025 appearing in feature films including Edgar Wright’s The Running Man and Maintenance Required on Amazon. He has also captured millions online with his hit Instagram series, Dear Diary, showcasing his exuberant comedic style to a global audience.
Fans may also recognise Hicks from television appearances on Channel 4, BBC, and ITV, as well as popular panel shows including Have I Got News For You, The Last Leg, and As Yet Untitled. He has starred in Prime Video’s Lovestruck High, narrating alongside Lindsay Lohan, and won Channel 4’s fully improvised competition series, Captive Audience.
A familiar face on the UK comedy circuit, Hicks has headlined at major clubs such as The Stand, Glee Club, and Up the Creek, and holds a residency at London’s Top Secret Comedy Club. He also comperes major events including Leeds and Reading Festivals, and curates performances at historic venues like the Hammersmith Apollo. In recognition of his prolific live work, he was endorsed as a Global Talent by Arts Council England in 2022.
Beyond the stage, Hicks is a voice actor for Sky Comedy and Great Big Story, regularly works on global campaigns, and presents for Yahoo Entertainment.
He has shared the spotlight with UK comedy stars including Axel Blake, Simon Brodkin, and Al Murray, and continues to tour both the UK and US, performing in legendary Hollywood clubs such as The Comedy Store, The Improv, and The Laugh Factory.
Reflecting on his success, Hicks said he still can’t believe he gets to make people laugh for a living, travel the world, and, most importantly, “not wake up early on Monday mornings".
Russell Hicks’ 2026 UK tour promises a high-energy mix of improvised comedy and personal storytelling, bringing one of America’s most exciting comic talents to stages across the country.
