Hire Russell Brand Through E3 Artists

Russell made his theatrical debut aged fifteen, in Bugsy Malone as Fat Sam. An education at Italia Conti stage school led to a three-year scholarship at the drama centre in Camden where, in his spare time, Russell began performing stand up in pubs around London. He reached the final of the prestigious Hackney Empire new act of the year competition and his political rantings caught the eye of Time Out’s Malcolm Hay who dubbed him “Essex’s Bill Hicks”. A successful run at the Edinburgh Festival followed as did an appearance in the So You Think You`re Funny? Final. MTV caught Russell’s show at the festival and gave him his own series, Dance Floor Chart.

Summer 2004 saw Russell host E4’s live Big Brother discussion series Efourum, and present Kings of Comedy for E4, in between which Russell took his one man show Better Now to the Edinburgh Festival. The show was a complete sell out and received 4 and 5 star reviews in The Times, The Guardian, The Scotsman and The Metro amongst others. 2005 saw another run of the now re-titled Big Brother’s Big Mouth and saw Russell enjoy another critically acclaimed Edinburgh run of his latest stand up show Eroticized Humour.

Russell`s star status took off in 2006 and turned tickets to his stand up gigs into gold dust. He was crowned Time Out’s Stand Up Comedian of the Year in 2006 and embarked on a UK tour taking his unique comic talent to his fans all over the country. His very own show, Russell Brand’s Got Issues, started on E4 before transferring over to Channel 4 in November 2006. In 2007 Russell Brand hosted the BRIT Awards and an hour of Comic Relief. On 7 July, 2007 he presented at the UK leg of Live Earth at Wembley Stadium, London. Russel has recently hosted a brand new show for Channel 4, entitled Ponderland and has made a successful transition to the big screen, appearing in St. Trinians and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
