Russell Brand at Colston Hall in Bristol on 20 June 2017

Russell Brand will perform at The Colston Hall in Bristol on Tuesday 20 June 2017

 

Notorious, eccentric and controversial, Russell Brand almost needs no introduction. While attending the Drama Centre in Camden, Brand began performing stand up at night, reaching the final of Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in 2000. Brand has long been the king of controversy, being kicked out of drama school Italia Conti and being dismissed from presenting on MTV for dressing up as Osama Bin Laden.

He’s now added acting to his portfolio, having starred in the Hollywood movies St. Trinians, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him To The Greek, and the remake of Arthur, which made him a name on the other side of the Atlantic. He was part of the London 2012 Closing Ceremony, has appeared on BBC Question Time, hosted his own show on BBC Radio 6 Music, and written for The Guardian.

In RE:BIRTH, Russell Brand wrestles with some big questions while unravelling the matrix of modern media, politics, sex, fatherhood and death. Join one of comedy’s fiercest talents as he tries to make sense of life having just made a new one.

“Once you’ve had a baby you’re a parent and immediately you go from being a madman (cool) to a mad dad (not cool). How can you be a dangerous, edgy, rebel with a tiny, little daughter? How do we make sense of the madness of our lives once we become parents? What am I going to tell my daughter about conformity and responsibility? What happens if she grows up to be like me? Or, worse, to date a man like me?”

Age guide: 16+
