Recalling it now a big part of his act then was reading the readers letters to the Sun and taking the piss out of the reactionary nonsense in them. I wonder if he envisaged that he'd be worse than any of them 15 years down the line? Maybe he could write a sketch about that.

The last thing I saw him doing on Twitter was trying to flog some necklace that stopped WiFi penetrating you. Which is ironic.

I wouldn’t revisit his stuff now because, as is my approach to the likes of Barton as well, acknowledging their stuff through views or retweets (even to complain about them) is validation and I would rather starve them of the publicity that feed it.

Obviously there’s a chance he might be innocent, such is the nature of the law in the country that he’s presumed innocent until found guilty but if and when he is found guilty, I hope he gets everything that’s coming to him.

Ponderland was hilarious at times. Some genuinely ‘lol’ moments on there.

Always thought the guy was a total throbber though.

I know someone who rented out a flat to him during the Fringe one year. The flat was absolutely disgusting when he left, so much so they had to get in a cleaning firm to fix it. Needless to say the invoice for the cleaning was never paid by Brand.

On the flip side the same person let out the flat a few years ago to Janey Godley and her Daughter. Flat was left immaculate with flowers and a thank you card left by them both as a thank you.

The always excellent Daniel Sloss with a few pointed words about Russell Brand’s agent on his Instagram stories. Plus comedians who are represented by the same person.
