Russell Brand: Skinned (working title) is a 60 minute documentary for Channel 4 combining behind the scenes footage and stand up performance with an in-depth interview conducted by Frank Skinner.
In early 2009 Russell completed an international tour that featured dates in New York and Australia as well as a number of shows in the UK. The tour culminated with a sell out 17,000 people gig at the O2. During this period cameras were following Russell backstage and travelling.
Just 3 years ago Russell was performing in Camden pubs in front of crowds of 20 people. Combining previously unseen footage of such gigs with the interview, the documentary not only tells the story of the Scandalous Tour but also touches upon Russell’s rise to fame, sexual notoriety and first hand experience of the media storm around ‘Sachsgate’, giving a unique insight into the man himself.
