After a series of successful shows in 2016, Russell Brand is back for more. The English comedian, actor, radio host, author and activist announced a new stand-up tour of UK and Ireland. The comedian hits the road again in April 2017 for an epic 71-date tour across the UK and Ireland until the end of 2018.
With Re:Birth A Stand Up 2017 tour, Brand claimed he is reinventing himself. He tries to address the questions: What is real? Who are we? Where did this baby come from? Meanwhile, he tries to solve the puzzle of modern media, politics, sex, fatherhood and death.
Ever since he rose to fame in 2003, Russell Brand has established himself as one of the top comedians in the industry. But he is not only funny. Brand is also multi-talented and multifaceted; he doesn't only stand out as a comedian but he has also made it as a broadcaster, actor, author, podcaster, columnist, political commentator, and as a mental health and drug rehabilitation activist.
Here is the kind of sense of humor you can expect:
I couldn't possibly have sex with someone with such a slender grasp on grammar!
Have you been out in society recently? ‘Cause it's SHIT.
My dad's philosophy was (and I think still is) that life is a malevolent force, which seeks to destroy you, and you have to struggle with it. Only those who are hard enough will succeed. Most people get crushed, but if you fight, in the end life will go, ‘F.ing hell. This one's serious. Let him through
