RUSSELL BRAND
RUSSELL BRAND Russell started life in Essex in the summer
of '77. He began acting at 15 and swiftly won a grant to attend
the infamous Italia Conti where he learnt singing, dancing and
stomach churning sycophancy, he left after just one year. His
education was terminated on the grounds that he found it impossible
to concentrate on elocution whilst in a building populated only
by nubile, latex clad, teenage girls. He plied his acting trade
at the carnival of Thespus appearing in several short films, (one
of which 'The Box' received an award at the London Film Festival)
during this time he also appeared in numerous pop videos and an
episode of The Bill. After this venture Russell applied to train
as a method actor at The Drama Centre. His application was a success,
and he received a scholarship from a Ladies make up company, but
despite their best efforts he did not become a transvestite. However
he still insists his Ritz crackers are garnished with lipstick
to this day. Russell has just returned from his debut appearance
at the Edinburgh Festival. He performed in a package show entitled
'Cryptic Triptych'. The show was a great success with Russell
being described as a 'Proto-superstar' and a 'Star of the Future'.
Russell can be currently seen performing up and down the country
in comedy venues and universities and recently as support to Rob
Newman at The Hackney Empire. Russell's stream of comments never
lets up within his fast pace observational style of comedy. He
is definitely a name to watch. '.....it is Brand who has star
of the future tattooed beneath his Calvin Kleins'. The Scotsman
'Darkly brooding proto-superstar.....discover Russell Brand for
yourself ahead of the pack'. The Herald
