| 7M PicturesKevin CarrBrand is not a master comedian. He's out there enough to capture the interest of an American audience, but it still seems very odd. |
| User ReviewDeborah BFrom where I sit Mrs. Brand should be most grateful. |
| User ReviewKarri NI absolutely enjoyed every minute of this stand-up routine. Russell Brand is hilarious. It's definitely not for the kiddos, but fabulous for the adults. |
| User ReviewJulee IThis is my favorite Brand stand-up. Honest and straightforward, glamourous and sexy. He subtly tailored this show to Americans in some ways but remained uncompromising about sex and authority. This show is interesting, refreshing, mad, and delightful. |
| User ReviewNay JRussell is simply hilarious. I'd say he's a comedy genius. He keeps his audience in hysterics with his flow of twisted little stories and snippets. He certainly didn't disappoint me. Good on you, Russ! |
| User ReviewKyle SAt times, he plays like a British Dane Cook (i.e. obnoxiously hyperactive, excessively kinetic, not funny). Strangely enough, however, he more often than not rebounds from this with more of a scholarly monologue than stand-up routine. How many times can you watch a comedic performance that name-checks Foucault and Freud and riffs on everything from the divine to the existential nature of the self? He's really more a shaman than he is funny, but the strange brew he concocts here really makes for an interesting watch overall. Don't do it for belly laughs, do it for intrigue. |
| User ReviewCory LI adore Russell Brand's divergent yet insightful musings about life. |
| User ReviewRichard Asame jokes from Scandalous in the UK show,but he is funny |
| User ReviewLiam SFresh and long awaited, I cant say how long ive being waiting for russell to get back to his roots and do some solid stand up. And now its arrived ive never laughed as hard at his material. He never fails to make my sides split. His i dont care approach to the media adds that extra spice to his jokes, outrages and radical. All fans will be satisfied and all newbies will soon be followers. |
| User ReviewDavid PRussell Brand is no funnier here than he is in movies. |
