Amnesty International’s Secret Policeman’s Ball, which is coming to the US for the first time, will take place on March 4 in New York City at Radio City Music Hall.

Russell will be one of the featured performers, along with Coldplay, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Mumford & Sons, Reggie Watts, Fred Armisen, David Cross, Noel Fielding, Micky Flanagan, Bill Hader, Rashida Jones, Seth Meyers, Bob Odenkirk, Andy Samberg, Peter Serafinowicz, Sarah Silverman, Jack Whitehall and Kristen Wiig.

The event can be watched live via EpixHD, which is a US TV channel available via some cable providers, or via an online subscription. The good news is, they offer a 14 day free trial for the online version, so you could sign up just to watch this one program and then cancel.  As far as I can tell, both the TV channel and the online version are US-only.

In the UK, the Secret Policeman’s Ball will be broadcast on Channel 4 a few days after the live event.

You can also follow the SPB on Facebook for the latest updates.

Russell in New York City today, leaving his home and heading to the Today Show.

Russell was spotted earlier today in NYC having lunch with friends. I enjoy the fact that he’s got the stubble growing back in these pics (though he shaved again for the Cosmo event later in the day).

I realize it’s shallow but … I want the stubble back for good!  Anyone else?
