While I thoroughly enjoy seeing Russell Brand in films (especially when he plays Aldous Snow), I think he should leave the comedy stage to more adept British comedians, such as Eddie Izzard and Rowan Atkinson. He's not a terrible comedian, but he makes a better actor/singer. That, and the HAIR! My God, I couldn't quit looking at his crazy hairdo long enough to listen to what he was talking about. When doing stand-up, it is necessary to work harder on what you say than how you look. Izzard pulled it off because he was more animated than his outfit and makeup. Plus, Izzard was more well spoken. I'm not trying to put Russell down or say that Eddie Izzard is the best comedian to ever grace the stage; just that Mr. Brand might want to work on his material a bit more and tone down the rock star image when doing a stand-up comedy show.
