    Russell you have one fantastic mouth on ya! Must admit you had me at
    ‘…get a bit of tit…’ I’m old skool see!

    Looking forward to seeing the Tempest, I’m sure your magpie-esque performance will light up the screen. All the best Brand. x

    Does this Brand character seem quite camp to anyone else? Dare I say even a bit dandy!

    Awesome, Russell ranting poetically at the camera for 5 minutes, what more could we ask for??
    Now I have to see the film ASAP, do some more Russell please, brighten up our dull lives with your stories, any subject will do. However please wait till I return from hairdressers as you have already made me late and my excuse “Ooo sorry I was watching Russell Brand talk about his part in a Shakespearean film” won’t go down well in a South Wales hair Salon, however I will take them my copy of Booky Wook 2 to further explain your appeal! x x

    I think you’re at your best when you’re improvising old russ; you call yourself a standup-comic but there’s always a much greater sense of excitement when you’re making it up as you go along. You’re like a conjurer and a comic at the same time, leaving me with my mouth wide open in awe but smiling at the same time, making me look foolish and adding to the general humourousness of the situation. Thanks!x

    “You’re the only person I know who can do that.”
    “Oh, that’s good.”

    Brilliant!

    Morning. Cup of coffee, bowl of nuts. A bit of Brand.
    Where does Brand begin and Shakespeare end?
    Does anyone care?
    I did not want to say again, but I have to: A Genius like no other.

    Music and comedy has kept me sane but then I wonder sometimes if insane is all that bad. lol Love it, can barely wait for “The Tempest”.
