seeing as there is a few peeps here that like Mr Brand, i thought that a Unofficial thread for all random Russell related would be a good idea.

anyway to get the ball rolling there is a very good interview in today's Times Magazine with Russell.

Russell Brand on sex, Sachs and self-improvement

So has the furore over his radio show left Russell Brand a chastened man? Well, not exactly... Robert Crampton meets the comic and emerging Hollywood star in his Hampstead home to talk Sachs, sex and ambition, and finds it’s business as usual

enjoy :)

Personally I really like Russell and adored his radio show - I feel like Jonathan Ross rather sabotaged it, although the show was evidently not going to last much longer. My elder sister is friendly with Russell - they mix in the same circle and have often gone out together (I haven't questioned any further relations)! She says he is a really genuine, caring guy and he was genuinely gutted about 'Sachsgate', apparently.

Also read the article yesterday - thought his house sounds gorgeous despite the apparently unwelcoming lounge room! Was disappointed with the stance the interviewer maintained, he seemed to have pre-set opinions and I don't think he quite understood Brand's persona and humour, perhaps.

I saw his book at the store.

I didnt think American audiences knew anything about him other than that he hosted our MTV awards and bashed Jonas Brothers during the show

oh wait I have seen shows of his stand up act on Comedy Central (network)

Was Forgetting Sarah Marshall not a big film in the States?

He was excellent in that, although I really shouldn't have taken my Gran to see it...

I first saw him on Graham Norton a few years ago, and was really mesmerized by his personality. When I got into podcasts, his was one of the first I subscribed to. I really liked his interplay with Matt. I miss the podcasts. Have caught some of his stand-up on dvd and Comedy Central, but haven't seen FSM.

I don't think there's a thread about the BBC being 'bound and gagged' so to speak, so I'm posting this link on here. Very good article from the wonderful Mr Mitchell. It isn't as funny as his column usually is, but it expresses precisely how I feel.: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/apr/12/david-mitchell-jonathan-ross-russell-brand

good read is that, & i agree with everything he said, i also agree with what Russell said the other day that he will pay the fine himself if Jack Straw pays for the Iraq war & all the other MP's & politicians pay out of their own pocket for their mistakes.

He had Mr Gee as his warm up who was on for about half an hour first of all then he was on for about 2 hours himself I think. We weren't allowed to take pic's and I got in trouble from some random SECC person for taking that one but not to worry! ha ha.

The show was great, the whole "Sachsgate" thing has given him sooooo much material!

Ooooh I didn't know about the box set, will need to look out for that!

Yeah he was at the Clyde Auditorium :) We thought we had 2nd row seats but didn't realise the sides didn't have a row A so we were actually in the front row! He got off the stage and had a wander through the Audience! We were close enough to touch him (but didn't). Did he stay in the one just behind the SECC?

its mainly going to be about football, well thats supposed to be the idea anyway ;)

Comedian Russell Brand has launched his first radio show since his resignation from the BBC - with a telephone call to broadcaster Jonathan Ross.

Brand made the call during a two-hour football special, co-hosted with Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, to be aired on Talksport radio at 2100 BST.

"You're not back on the radio, are you?" listeners will hear Ross say.

Ross and Brand were heavily censured last year for leaving lewd messages on actor Andrew Sachs' answering machine.

Brand quit his Radio 2 show as a result, while Ross was suspended from the BBC for three months.

Earlier this month the BBC was fined £150,000 by media watchdog Ofcom for their "offensive, humiliating and demeaning" conduct.

'Cutting-edge comedy'

In the show, recorded in London on Saturday, listeners will hear Gallagher accuse Ross and Brand of failing to learn their lessons.

Ross will then be heard telling Gallagher: "We'll listen to it very carefully before it goes out.

"Noel, you can sit back and be the grown-up one."

In another part of the programme, Brand can be heard leaving a message for Barack Obama in a bid to find out if the US president is a West Ham United fan.

The one-off show could become a regular fixture if it proves successful with Talksport listeners.

When it launched the programme, the station said it would contain "a heavy dose of cutting-edge comedy, controversial commentary and the odd eye-opening anecdote". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8006913.stm

good show i thought, nice balance of sport & general random chat ef794ce4.gif
