Russell was joined by Steve Hall, Annie McGrath, Athena Kugblenu, Gavin Osborn and Steve Hall to deliver an evening of comedy.
More than 700 guests supported the event, raising over £14,000 for Julian House.
All performing comedians waived their fee for the gig, so all funds raised go towards Julian House’s services to support individuals who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Bath and across the South West.
Born in Bath, Russell has supported many local charities over the years and has long been an advocate for social justice and humanitarian causes.
His current tour, ‘Russell Howard Live’, has seen him play dates in the UK, USA, New Zealand and Australia and has sold over 250,000 tickets over 100+ gigs in the UK & Ireland alone.
Gavin Osborn, events and community fundraiser at Julian House, said: “We’re so grateful to have Russell on board for this show at Komedia.
“He has always been a champion of causes like Julian House and this gig will make a real impact to our services.
“January can be pretty cold and miserable, and we know Russell brings joy and warmth to every gig he does!”
