Russell Brand - Series 1 Ep. 1 - Russell Brand Live

A Disappointing Performance

I loved Russell Brand's show stealing appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and was expecting great things from this stand up dvd. However, I was sadly disappointed. The key to a good stand up performance is to start well and then carry the audience up to a side splitting crescendo, leaving everyone in tears by the end. Unfortunately, Russell never really gets into any kind of comedy momentum because the jokes that do work are too few and far between. I spent most of this performance sat in silence. I hope he improves for the future.
