One of the most exciting comics to come out of America, Russell is branded one of the 'Top 6 Comics to Watch' by LA's Stand Up Talk Magazine. Anyone who has seen him knows that it is never the same show twice. Taking a different approach than most comedians, Hicks weaves improvisation with a stream of conscious delivery that has many audience members returning for two nights in a row. Nothing in this blurb can do his act justice other than to say, you just have to see him live.
Anecdotal, observational and refreshingly honest in style, Gerry's comedy is enriched by a somewhat unique perspective. Gerry was born in the East End, but grew up in rural Essex, as a rare black face in an almost totally white and very parochial area. In addition to providing some truly original insights into life in rural England, these early experiences have ensured Gerry's comedy appeals to an incredible range of audiences.
