Russell Brand is the gloriously insane comedian and TV presenter who is more rock'n'roll than any current rock'n'roller. Born June 5, 1975 in Essex, his flamboyant, sometimes controversial style of humour can split opinion. However, he was named best Stand Up by Time Out Magazine in the Time Out Live awards recently, and the eight-night run of his stand-up show Shame at the 2006 Edinburgh Festival was the first show to sell out for that year. Currently on national tour wreaking havoc as only he can.
