BBC Three has commissioned a new comedy pilot starring Russell Howard, it is announced.

The show, which will record this summer, will be the channel's first topical comedy show.

"I'm thrilled that Russell Howard is going to be working with BBC Three," said channel controller Danny Cohen. "He's a huge talent, who already has a great following with young people."

The untitled pilot will be produced by Mark Iddon (Mouth To Mouth) and directed by Peter Orton (Harry Hill's TV Burp).
