Okay, so until the Rove appearance, I had no idea Russell Brand was so smart. I was really off him after that whole Jonathan Ross interview where he ragged on Manuel from Fawlty Towers, but now I'm wondering if it was not all some misunderstanding. Brand seems too clever to get caught up in stuff like that. It was Jonathan Ross's fault, surely -- he's a massive prat.Anyway... the show is too short, but it's funny enough. I don't feel like there was any real narrative going on, which I normally like in a stand-up act, but there's bits and pieces about Brand's family, his philosophy, his adoration of small town newspapers.
A friend commented recently that Brand is funnier when interacting with others, on the fly, and off the cuff. I agree. The stand-up is funny, but his interviews (and the features on this DVD) reveal him as way funnier.
And he is massively hot, which I have only really noticed since I learned of his intelligence. Interesting...
