Review - Russell Brand, Messiah Complex

Russell Brand used to be a comic preoccupied solely with sex and drugs, but now, oh god, he's read some books and has some big ideas. Sounds excruciating? Well, he walks the walk.

Russell Brand - Messiah Complex review

Despite the show's delusions of philosophical grandeur, Messiah Complex is as thought provoking as it is entertaining. But let's get one thing straight: Russell Brand is not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

When storytelling stand-ups hit a certain strata of celebrity, it often seems as if the only subject they can talk about with any honest is fame.

Russell Brand: Messiah Complex - review

Comic gets the balance right between imparting hippie-leftie wisdom and sending himself up.

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 9th October 2013

Russell Brand, Birmingham Symphony Hall, review

Russell Brand's first big UK stand-up show since 2009 felt overly considered rather than the galvanisingly chaotic, but it was good to have him back on home territory, writes Dominic Cavendish.

Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 8th October 2013

Russell Brand review

Both a tour de force and a tour de farce - tonight Russell Brand is clown, philosopher, critic, pundit, lover, cad - all things to all men and, of course, to all women - as if that was ever in doubt.

Julian Hall, The Independent, 8th October 2013
