Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Russell Brand - he's smart, hilarious and weirdly endearing. However, i don't feel that this particular DVD does real justice to his talents.
Although there are some stand-out funny moments here that more than justify buying this DVD, some parts seemed forced and the act as a whole didn't really seem to flow that smoothly.
In my opinion, Russell is at his best when he's improvising and just going with the flow, or at least when performing an act which he hasn't done over and over again (the short act he performed at the Secret Policeman's Ball has to be one of the funniest pieces of stand-up I've ever seen).
When i went to see his show in Birmingham recently, there was thankfully only about 30 minutes worth of the material on this DVD included, instead he spent most of the night ad-libbing - engaging with the audience and reading articles from the local paper - to fabulous comedic effect.
Still, this DVD is very funny and it made me laugh A LOT. In my opinion it's definitely worth buying (unless very graphic sex references make you feel uncomfortable, that is).
However, I can't give it 5 stars - however much I would like to - because I know he can do so much better.

I think its unfair that people are commenting him so harshly. i thought on this dvd he was funny, charming and original. I hated him on 'big brothers big mouth' but ive grown to love him. i laughed so much when he was saying about riding past the window on the motorbike. i have friends that hated him but have fallen in love after showing them this dvd. hes obvious very intelligent and well read, and this seeps through in his witty humour. id also recommend his book. buy this... buy it now!

I love Rusell and all of his dvds, and although I prefer his later stuff, this is still a very good, funny dvd, that I would recommend to any Rusell fan!

Infantile Crass
The usual childish crass observations from the over excited Brand. As rubbish goes this is up there at the top of heap.

I'm still waiting for the funny parts
I had never heard of this comedian but was keen to try something new. I don't think I even had a nostril laugh, you know, when you exhale through your nose and smile at the same... Read more

amazingly funny, highly original
Russell brand can easily divide a nation, maybe 60% of people do not know who he is but the rest certainly do. Read more

brilliant
I absolutly loved it. He has great charm when telling his stories, a kind of harsh honesty, and this bright bubbly energy you can't help but be drawn in. Read more

Couldn't watch it all, it was that bad
Just awful, me (26) and my hubby (29) thought this was terrible and we could not finish it at all. We thought it may get better but it just got worse and worse. Read more

Mockney Rebel?
When Russell Brand confidently prances onto the stage looking oddly magnificent, you are reminded of the multi-talented Eddie Izzard at his best, Dressed To Kill. Read more

released in Nov 06 - he's still doing the same show today
Funny, if you like his style of humour. However, as a prev reviewer mentioned, there's no variety. I saw him last night, and 45 minutes of the show was lifted straight from the DVD... Read more

I am new to Russell Brand, but having heard a radio interview before Christmas, I thought I'd give him a go. Read more
