Russell Howard, a well-known comedian, has released additional tickets for his charity comedy event in memory of his baby son, Felix, after the event sold out within seconds of going on presale. The event, scheduled for February 8 next year at London's O2 Arena, is being held to raise funds for The Felix Foundation, which Russell and his wife, Dr. Cerys Morgan, established after the tragic death of their son shortly after birth. Russell shared the heartbreaking news of Felix’s passing earlier this year, expressing deep gratitude for the support he and his family received from hospital staff during their time of grief.
The comedy night will feature several high-profile performers, including Jimmy Carr, Greg Davies, John Bishop, Michael McIntyre, Aisling Bea, and Mo Gilligan. All of these comedians are participating for free, offering their time and talents to support the foundation. Russell expressed his appreciation for their generosity in an Instagram post, noting how quickly the presale tickets sold out. He also thanked fans for their support and highlighted the emotional significance of the event.
Presales for the event began at 10 a.m. through various ticketing platforms, including See Tickets, Ticketmaster, The O2 Venue, and AXS. The general public will be able to purchase tickets starting at 10 a.m. on Friday through The O2. Russell and Dr. Cerys have another son, born in May 2025, and they remain committed to honoring Felix’s memory through the foundation. They have shared how the hospital midwife, Lauren, who had experienced a similar loss, provided invaluable support during their time of grief.
