Russell Brand

Ignore The Sun, Russell Brand is funny

I think that's why I can't agree with The Sun. Russell is funny. I've seen it. I've seen it twice. But then we know why they printed it... They printed it because they needed to try to defame him and they didn't find anything. They're just that jealous fat man in the front row at the gig screaming: 'This isn't funny.' And just like in his case, I'm not sure anyone is really listening.

Radio Times review

Lee's decrepit dad Frank (Bobby Ball) is dossing in Lucy's pristine flat (how can she afford such a wonderful place in London? What does she do for a living?) and he's drinking too much.

Not Going Out totters into potentially difficult territory as Lucy, Daisy and a highly reluctant Lee (Lee Mack) decide to stage an intervention after Frank wees on the yucca plant, to tell him of their fears he's turned into an alcoholic. There's a lot of comic unde'cutting of some difficult situations, including a group session at a rehab centre that becomes very uncomfortable.

But this is Not Going Out and not a Russell Brand treatise, so we expect tastelessness, even if in this case it feels just a bit off-key.

Russell Brand: schools without libraries are a disgrace

Chris Dangerfield on Dapper Laughs: victim of jealousy?

"Look, I don't give a shit about the bullshit personal private greedy agendas of these liberal f***s who draw arbitrary lines to serve their own agendas - and that's what they've done. That's why they're not talking about Russell Brand, Doug Stanhope, Bill Burr. But Dapper Laughs - some working class shitbag from nowhere who has said a couple of pretty unfunny things - he's a target. He hasn't said anything anywhere near as 'bad' as any of that other lot. I don't care what they say, myself. I love it. But, if you look at the criteria these people have used when talking about Dapper Laughs, then these people - Brand, Stanhope, Burr - are far 'worse'. It's all bullshit."

Radio Times review

Stephen Fry is absolutely lethal tonight. Partly because that's the theme of this week's show, but also because he's on fire comedically. After a lengthy dissertation about a particular marsupial's energetic but ultimately deadly sex life, he solemnly wags his finger and says, "Russell Brand take note."

Sandi Toksvig, Jason Manford and Bill Bailey join Alan Davies to try to answer questions about laptop fatalities, the perils of sugar-free confectionery, unusual duelling weapons and the possibility of taking a bullet for someone. They also learn a nifty method of extracting a cork that's dropped down inside a glass bottle using a plastic bag. How handy.

These two quotes expose Russell Brand's hypocrisy

Today Russell Brand claimed he would 'NEVER endorse' a 'system for chatting up women' as used by pick-up artists. But he once endorsed a whole book!
