Comedy review: Russell Brand: Re-Birth
There’s no other comic quite like Russell Brand, dispensing cookies to his audience made by the Hare Krishnas and remaining onstage during the interval, posing for photos with the multitude that want them. As ever, he swaggeringly reiterates his belief that everything is essentially nonsense because we’re all part of some higher, vaguely spiritual collective energy, which he then sets about testing with some lively crowd work that far exceeds normal audience participation.
