About Russell Brand
Russell Edward Brand (born 4 June 1975) is an English comedian, actor, podcaster, and media personality. He initially was a stand-up comedian and radio and television presenter in the UK, where he received public attention for being the host of the television show Big Brother's Big Mouth, a spin-off from the reality show Big Brother broadcast on E4. He had his first major film role in the British comedy St Trinian's (2007), after which he starred in the Hollywood comedies Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), Get Him to the Greek (2010), Arthur (2011), and Rock of Ages (2012). He has received three British Comedy Awards and a nomination for a BAFTA Award.
Brand performed stand-up at the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year final in 2000, finishing fourth, and made his Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut that year as one-third of Pablo Diablo's Cryptic Triptych. In 2004 he took his first one-man show, the confessional Better Now, to the Edinburgh Festival, returning the following year with Eroticised Humour. He launched his first nationwide tour, Shame, in 2006, and has released several stand-up specials including Scandalous (2009), Messiah Complex (2013), and Brandemic (2023). He hosted his own radio show The Russell Brand Show and also hosts the podcasts Stay Free with Russell Brand and Under the Skin with Russell Brand.
Brand has received frequent media coverage for his promiscuity, drug use, political views, provocative behaviour, dismissal from MTV, and resignation from the BBC amid a prank call controversy. Since guest-editing an edition of the British political weekly New Statesman in 2013, he has received public attention for his political and social activism. In September 2023, following a joint investigation by The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches, five women publicly accused Brand of sexual assault and sexual and emotional abuse concerning incidents between 2006 and 2013. Brand has denied all of the allegations and has since been charged with multiple counts of rape, oral rape, indecent assault, and sexual assault.
