Milo Edwards moved to Moscow to work in financial services, ended up performing stand-up on Russian television, and has been explaining that sequence of events ever since.

Milo Edwards is a stand-up comedian and podcaster from Essex, a former Cambridge Footlights member who moved to Moscow in 2015 and performed on Russian TV before making his mark on the UK comedy scene with his Edinburgh Fringe shows. He hosts the podcasts Trashfuture, Masters of Our Domain, and Glue Factory, and has written for Mock The Week, The News Quiz, Private Eye, and The New Statesman.
