Sure it wasn't gut bustingly hilarious, but it definitely had a its funny moments, and it shows that Russell Brand is a witty quick thinker who has some surprisingly insightful thoughts on what's happening around the world. It's not a great show, but I personally found it worth my time (and to be much better than FX's other new show - Anger Management). I probably won't watch this show on a regular basis, but if I catch it while it's on, I'll definitely watch it.…Full Review »
Before I watched this show, I have not been terribly impressed with Brand. However, each episode of this series has me laughing exponentially more. Brand literally leaps around the stage, which combined with his quick, witty interactions with audience members leaves me wishing the show was longer. Do yourself a favor and judge this show for yourself, don't shy away because of the extreme 0 ratings from other users. The show is quick, witty, and just the right amount of edginess.

I didn't expect to like Russell Brand the first time I watched an interview, but I did, very much. His humor is of an intelligent 'brand', and he's so quick and witty and informed. Others may not appreciate him since it takes some knowledge of world affairs and deeper subjects thrown in. I hate to make comparisons, since he's one of a kind, but the closest in my mind is Robin Williams, such a brilliant and insightful mind. I honestly like him much more in stand up and interviews, you just have to try to keep up and be appreciative of his broad knowledge of his subjects, something our fast-forward generation may not be. He's refreshingly funny and doesn't rely as much on immature genitalia jokes as some other newer comedians. That gets old pretty fast. I'll be watching - got a season pass!…Full Review »
