Following a series of sold-out preview shows in November and December last year, Russell Brand is bringing a new national stand-up tour to Birmingham and the Midlands.
As the popular comedian, activist and actor embraces his recent induction to fatherhood, he ponders over the more pressing question sin life: “What is real? Who are we? Where did this baby come from?”
In the aptly named RE:BIRTH, Russell Brand wrestles with these questions while unravelling the matrix of modern media, politics, sex, fatherhood and death.
Fans of one of comedy’s fiercest talents can join him at the city’s Symphony Hall in December as he tries to make sense of life having just made a new one.

Pondering on his latest observations, Russell said:
“How do we make sense of the madness of our lives once we become parents? What am I going to tell my daughter about conformity and responsibility? What happens if she grows up to be like me or, worse, date someone like me?”
Since rising to fame in 2003, Russell Brand has established himself as one of one of the world’s most celebrated stand-up comedians.
His acclaimed tours include 2006’s Shame followed by Only Joking a year later, before debuting in the US in 2009 with Scandalous. In 2013, the critically-acclaimed and hugely successful Messiah Complex, made its way through British cities as Russell’s interest in politics and social action grew.
