Full review
Russell Brand is a very funny man. He would be the ideal drinking buddy at the pub, however his stand up DVD is quite possibly the most dissapointing stand up show I have seen. I am a fan of stand up comedians such as Lee Evans and Peter Kay - Obviously I was not expecting quite the same thing however I did expect better.
Judge for yourself but Brand seems nervous for the first half of the show and fails to find his feet on the stage and develop a string of comedy that links together well.
The second half of the show is much better and shows Brand\'s potential. The section where he analyses articles in the paper is very funny and brings out the best in Brand which is more obvious on things like \'Big Mouth\' and his Radio 2 podcast.
Worth a watch as there are a few laugh out loud parts but I can almost guarantee that you will be disapointed. Perhaps a more conversational style or presenting suits the man better rather than Stand up which requires a constant flow of almost obvious jokes.
To sum up - fingers crossed for his next stand up as much improvement is needed.
