Russell Edward Brand (born 4 June 1975 in Grays, England) is known for his somewhat abstract and [[CampStraight off the wall demeanor]]. He's best known in the UK as the host of ''The Russell Brand Show''. Part of his act is [[DontExplainTheJoke explaining the joke]], which usually makes it funnier. He's also known for playing sexually open and airy rock star Aldous Snow in ''Film/ForgettingSarahMarshall'' and its spin-off ''Film/GetHimToTheGreek''. Other works of his include Trinculo in ''Film/TheTempest2010'', his two title roles in [[Film/{{Arthur 2011}} the 2011 remake]] of ''Film/{{Arthur 1981}}'', the voice of a slacker Easter Bunny in ''Film/{{Hop}}'', Lonny in the film adaption of ''Film/{{Rock of Ages}}'' and Dr. Windlesham in Creator/KennethBranagh's 2022 Literature/HerculePoirot adaptation ''Film/{{Death on the Nile|2022}}''.

There appears to be a sharp division of opinion in Britain regarding Russell Brand. You either love or loathe him, you either regard him as a comic genius or as an untalented Lothario who got there solely because of his looks, his accent, and his bizarre behavior. It tends to boil down to two things: (a) whether you like his sort of comedy or you don't and (b) whether or not you read the tabloids.

He was forced to resign from his Radio 2 show with Creator/TheBBC in 2008 after the controversy that swelled over prank calls he and Jonathan Ross made to actor Andrew Sachs. Brand has since moved on to working almost exclusively in Hollywood.

Brand has had sex with just about every woman in the UK (and beyond), including a couple of famous ones, and he loves to brag about it -- which got him into trouble more than once. He was once married to kitschy pop star Music/KatyPerry. Russell is also [[HoYay close friends]] with Creator/NoelFielding, and the two formed "The Goth Detectives" on ''Series/TheBigFatQuizOfTheYear''.

He's the only man that Peter Andre has ever kissed.

In September 2023, following an investigation by ''The Times'', ''The Sunday Times'' and the Creator/Channel4's ''Dispatches'' programme that reported multiple allegations of Brand committing rape and sexual assault, the oldest dating back to 2006, Brand was dropped his agent, had his Website/YouTube channel demonetized and the BBC announced it would perform an internal review of Brand's conduct.

Brand denied the allegations, but all of his shows were postponed indefinitely.

Currently one of the UK's (and to a lesser extent, America) more popular comedians, Russell Edward Brand (born 4 June 1975) is known for his somewhat abstract and [[CampStraight off the wall demeanor]]. He's best known in the UK as the host of ''The Russell Brand Show''. Part of his act is [[DontExplainTheJoke explaining the joke]], which usually makes it funnier. He's also known for playing sexually open and airy rock star Aldous Snow in ''Film/ForgettingSarahMarshall'' and its spin-off ''Film/GetHimToTheGreek''. His most recent works include Trinculo in ''Film/TheTempest2010'', his two title roles in the 2011 remake of ''Film/{{Arthur}}'' and as the voice of a slacker Easter Bunny in ''Film/{{Hop}}'' and also as Lonny in the film adaption of ''Film/{{Rock of Ages}}''.

unnecessary wording, decided to simplify it


** He's distinctly not left-leaning in as much as he seems to think everyone deserves a chance to have their say, but his new Youtube show 'The Trews' - [[DontExplainTheJoke a combination of 'truth' and 'news']] - has seen him tackle a number of subjects from Gaza to Ferguson in a manner often more insightful than a number of news programs.

Cripes, how long ago was this edited? That show was cancelled in 2013.


Currently has a weekly show in the US, FX's ''[=BrandX=] With Russell Brand'', which is now in its second season and has become a live show rather than a pretaped one.

Brand has had sex with just about every woman in the UK (and beyond), including a couple of famous ones, and he loves to brag about it -- which got him into trouble more than once. He once married kitschy pop star Music/KatyPerry (although he has since filed for divorce). Russell is also [[HoYay close friends]] with Creator/NoelFielding, and the two formed "The Goth Detectives" on ''Series/TheBigFatQuizOfTheYear''.

* {{Troll}}: He invited two members of the infamous "Westboro Baptist Church". The interview started off friendly with some moments of tension from the guests and audience but when Russell asked them which audience members would go to hell. Russell soon pointed to a man and woman who have physical disabilities and opposing nationalities, this caused the church members to fumble. He soon brought forward some of his friends who told the guests that they were openly gay and religious themselves. The guests were quickly disgusted by this and soon left after they realised that they were just humiliated on live TV. Not only that but the church members worsened their own image by rejecting a gay man who was being nice them.
