There is no way russell is 4 inches shorter than 6'0" when i first saw him on stage he looked imo about 5'10" buts thats with his white trainers on too? I didnt thinck he looked 6'0" even with shoes on as well. But he didnt look 5'8". Tbh i was suprised to read that, that he was 5'8"05 i would have to give him 5'9" flat footed and 5'9"05 with his trainers on, and a weak 5'10" at a push in the morning. He just doesnt look as small as that, and i dont believe he wears lifts in his trainers. No way, he doesnt seem the type of guy that would care about doing that. But what a funny guy that man is, hes had me pml a few times now, he as boris's act to 'T' voice and all. A true naturaly gifted funny guy!

I live in Cheltenham and he was playing some gigs here over the weekend. I actually walked past him and I was at least an inch taller than him. 5'8.25 or 5'8.5 for Russell.

6ft 3 really? He never looked that tall. Nor does he have the face of a very tall man. 5ft 9 is believable though

WTH? Thought he was 6'3 on his show. Has the face of a tall guy too.... guess the camera shoots him at an angle/height that makes him look taller. 5'8.5

🎂🎈🎉 Happy Birthday Russell! 🎉🎈🎂
Wishing comedian Russell Howard a very happy Big 4️⃣0️⃣!
I don't think he's unduly worried about his height, and will give him a thoroughly respectable 5ft9 for his Birthday. 😆👌🎉

He's definitely nearer 5'9 than a flat 5'8.

@Maria: He's probably nearer to 5'9 imo. He may be 5'10 in shoes too so i can see where you're coming from about how he might look taller.

I'm really not seeing more than 2 inches between him and Boyle. He must be closer to 5'10.

I recall him saying on one of his shows he was 5ft10, his mum must be tiny because he's a head taller or more.

Saw him at Edinburgh recently, I'd say this looks about right, he does look taller on tv

I would have thought 5'9, looks taller than 5'8..might be 5'8.5 and has dropped the half.

I think he is taller then this listing. Probably 5'9. He was pretty much the same height as Harry Judd & Tim Lovejoy (both 178cm) all similar footwear on Sunday Brunch.

He doesn't look 4 inches shorter than 6ft Frankie Boyle on Mock The Week. 5'9 absolute minimum. Closer to 5'10 I'd say.

Looks around 5'10 on TV but he could be shorter.

Saw him on Good news earlier and he looked particularly tall - the sort of 6' height with a 5'8" frame, so perhaps a lift wearer? One of the guests on the show even commented 'you're taller than I imagined'.

Editor Rob when given 5ft 8 some might put it as 172 or 3, it's close enough to say 5ft 8 in any case.

That's about right for him, look at him stood next to Jonathan Ross as an example. Agree with some of these comments though, he has the proportions of a taller man

I would've thought maybe about 5'9'' or 5'10'' too, but I don't know why.

5'8? I would expect something more into the 5'10 - 6'0 range, 5'9 min. He's definitely got the proportions of a tall guy.

He gives taller impression.
But 5f8 is probably correct for him.
