Review: Russell Brand in New York City: Extended & Uncensored

To Americans, Russell Brand is not known by name, but by descriptions:
1. "That gay-looking dude in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' who constantly talks about sex."
2. Or, "That British dude who hosted the MTV VMAs with Britney Spears!"
3. Or a combination, "That really gay-looking British dude in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' who joked about the Jonas Brothers' lame promise rings on the MTV VMAs last year."
So yeah, if you're not British, then it'll be really hard for you to believe that one of the best comedy acts in the biz these days is none other than Mr. Russell Brand. The guy is a true comedic genius, if you ask me.
Most chicks wanna sleep with him and the ones who don't eventually end up sleeping w/ him, so don't think you're on some higher ground. And, as for the dudes, they just wanna learn how a guy who looks straight-up homo can land so many chicks with such ease.
If you're unable to hit up a show & want the Russell Brand experience, we highly suggest you checkout his upcoming DVD of a gig at the famed El Museo del Barrio in NYC's Spanish Harlem. It's not shot as well as you'd expect, but the raw comedic content more than makes up for any minor technical flaws. This is also a great introductory DVD to Russell Brand for friends who enjoyed "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
Anyway, I've hit up two shows in the past six months & I'm fully convinced that by next summer this guy will be huge. He's already working on a Sarah Marshall-spinoff "Get Him to the Greek" (directed by Nicholas Stoller (Sarah Marshall) & produced by Judd Apatow (Superbad, Knocked Up, etc) and also co-starring Jonah Hill) in which Russell Brand reprises his man-whore rock star role of Aldous Snow. I'm telling you, he's shaping up to be this generation's Austin Powers.
Here's another clip from Russell Brand's new DVD in which he talks about giving the homeless money:

He sucks. Not funny at all.
He probably won't "happen" in the US; he's too weird and gay-acting to be taken seriously.

Aren't "British" and "Gay" the same thing? Most girls want to sleep with him? Doesn't say much for your view of women, much less for those women that actually take the plunge. Get him a flea collar.
I bet he'll be a shoe-in for the White House Correspondents Dinner next year.

'Aren't "British" and "Gay" the same thing?'
I take it you don't go to Britain much? Come to Liverpool and say that! Lol.
I do agree about his lack of sex appeal. I'd rather sleep with Spencer Pratt, but then I'd only do that if i had a super strong case of swine flu/aids to transmit to him.

Sorry, just perpetuating a common Yank stereotype. I'd hate to be stomped by a bunch of Liverpudlian Red's hooligans!Oh, there I go again. lol

Hmmm I can't say i disagree as half of my family are Irish, but Liverpool is immense.
Apart from the scallies the people are amazing. And the humour gets me every time.
But yeah you Irish are up there too.

This guy's a talentless hack, I couldn't watch the video past the first joke since he stole it from Arj Barker.

I cant never understand what so funny about this man-whore..
he's fucking lame in Sarah Marshall.

He's the Brit version of Dane Cook. Dane Cook is a fucktard. So is this guy. But I do give him props for bashing the Jonas Brothers. Anybody bashing them in public gets a slight amount of respect in my book.
