Trew love for Russell Brand
7 Oct 2015
On the drive to see Russell Brand's Trew World Order at GrandWest last Saturday night, I jokingly remarked to my plus-one that he better hold me back from rushing the stage once the sexually sparkly Brand appeared. Luckily for him, our seats did not allow easy break-through access and, really, Mr Russell didn't need any added affection as he was practically swarmed by women of all ages throughout his 90-minute show.
The first brave soul to cop a feel was the bubbly Sharon, who practically ran Russell down after he had hopped off stage to introduce himself to those in the front rows. While a couple of other ladies received lap dances, cuddles, selfies and signatures. Oh that naughty Russell, he really does have love for all.
Well perhaps with the exception of Australian businessman Rupert Murdoch, who Brand repeatedly slanders throughout the show. In fact, the Trew World Order is more a political eye-opener in which Brand explains his latest stints in the media when it comes to addressing wealth gaps and social injustices, rather than a traditional stand-up show.
With that in mind, laughs are perhaps not as forthcoming as one would like and there is a fair amount of clip watching in which the self-admitted narcissist explains his looks and actions clip for clip. That said, I enjoyed Trew World Order if only to gaze upon his pretty face and leather-clad long legs.
Long live the "champagne socialist cocaine communist"!
