As a Swede I had not heard of the rather famous British comedian Russell Brand until he appeared on an episode of Conan O'Brien. Finding his appearance there rather hilarious, I sought DVDs with his material. There was not a great deal to find, but I did manage to get this, his second live-performance DVD. Russell Brand is despite first impressions a rather intellectual comedian; his jokes often pertain to "grungy" material such as sex and drugs, but they're delivered with a sophisticated style and impressive vocabulary. A generally goofy behavior with a lot of over-the-top gesturing adds to the effect, and the result is rather hilarious. This DVD contains a bit over an hour of his performance, as well as a number of extra material including a radio broadcast and various behind-the-scenes footage. It's a decent value. My only negative point about this DVD is that it lacks any form of subtitles. Now, I personally am fluent in English, but the very pronounced dialect that Mr. Brand speaks is quite frankly in places impossible to understand for anyone not British. I laughed in quite a few places, but had I been able to properly understand what he was saying all the time, it probably would have been a lot more. I hope that future DVD-releases will feature subtitles for those of us that don't speak "British Loon". :)Read full review
I am a fan of Russell Brand and on this DVD he is as hilarious and manic as ever! I recently watched Russell Brand in his latest film entitled "Get Me To The Greek" and I thought this was a brilliant film and he was very funny in it. I really enjoyed the film and therefore decided to see if there were any Russell Brand DVDs I could obtain on ebay. I have recently had a family bereavement and am very depressed, I need something to cheer me up and Russell Brand Doing Life did just that. I would recommend this DVD to any fans of Brand - it will not disappoint.
Russell brand is a legend and so is this dvd. With his lateral thinking and macabre sense a humour he is guaranteed to have you in stitches within minutes. This is a dvd i would recomment to anyone with a strong sense of humour and an interest in comedy
I have to disagree with whoever thinks this wasn't up to scratch compared to his previous dvd, if anything, I thought it was a lot better! Prancing about the stage with his flamboyant hair cut and fancy new boots, he's clearly having a great time and it isn't long before he finds himself in the minefield that is the subject of 9/11! Russell Brand fans will know what to expect, but others be warned as his style of comedy isn't to everyone's tastes.
when I first saw russell brand I have to admit I didnt like him, I didnt find him that funny and his quere persona kinda irritated me, but this dvd has changed my mind, an absolutly brilliant act, russell had me and my girlfriend in stiches the whole way through. If you enjoy comedy and are looking for something new and fresh then brands your man!
