DVD Review: Russell Brand in New York City - Extended & Uncensored - Page 2

All of this is thrust upon you, the viewer, at super speed, perhaps a thousand words a minute. Russell Brand is quick, a wit, and when dealing with an audience member who’s perhaps had a bit too much to drink (watch the “Loose Cannon Girl” bonus), show’s he’s a quick wit to top it off. Viewing the bonus featurette "An Englishman In New York," an off-the-cuff Russell Brand loose in Times Square piece confirms it. His humor is intelligent, self-deprecating, and thought-provoking, bordering on the sharp edge of controversy. The hubby ranks him right up there with Eddie Izzard which is extremely high praise indeed.

Now, you can see a lot of (censored) clips from the show right on Comedy Central or even on his MySpace profile. You can also go to YouTube to catch up on his appearances on the talk show circuit promoting his autobiography My Booky Wook and the Russell Brand in New York City: Extended & Uncensored DVD (the Chelsea Lately Show is brilliant). Bottom line is that I think you’re going to want to own the DVD itself. Yes, it’s that good and bears numerous repeat viewings. And none of the "naughty" words are bleeped out!

One last thing. The DVD for Russell Brand in New York City: Extended & Uncensored is the first original Comedy Central stand-up special ever. I must say that if this is the ilk of what they have in store for the future, then it definitely bears keeping an eye out for.
