About this episode

<p>Comedian Russell Kane is on the cusp of 50, and here to spill the beans on all he’s learned about staying youthful. He tells Gabby what it was like trying to break into comedy - an industry that’s famously a young person’s game - in his thirties, and the ways he used his already keen interest in biohacking to appear younger than he was. Russell speaks about his refusal to believe that aging is predestined, and what he does to slow down the process on a mitochondrial level. They also speak about his later in life diagnosis of ADHD, as well as his main worries as a father - that children are growing up over exposed to the digital world and under exposed to the real world. As you’d expect from someone who is famous for posting his rants online, this “raver reader” is not about to enter his fifties quietly!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Russell mentions <em>Shakespeare North</em>, and you can find out more about what’s on at <a href="http://www.shakespearenorthplayhouse.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.shakespearenorthplayhouse.co.uk</a> </p><p>Check out his upcoming stand up dates at <a href="http://www.russellkane.co.uk/tour-dates" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.russellkane.co.uk/tour-dates</a> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
