Comedian, actor and author Russell Brand will be in South Africa in October for three shows only as part of his “Trew World Order” Tour.

Presented by Showtime Management, in association with Phil McIntyre Entertainment, the two Johannesburg shows will be staged at the Teatro at Montecasino on Thursday, October 1 and Friday, October 2. Brand then takes to stage at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, Cape Town on Saturday, October 3. All three shows begin at 8 pm. Hashtag: #TrewTourSA

After a life of individualism and showing off, Hollywood, ruining broadcasting corporations and elections, Brand has decided the only way to change the world is to be a part of the crowd. Collectively, he says, as a crowd, a horde, a mob we can change the world. This show is a rabble-rousing stab at creating through the power of the crowd a Trew World Order.

Described by the Telegraph as “the most talented stand-up comedian to emerge in Britain so far this decade”, Brand shot to fame when he was seen in the Judd Apatow produced comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. His other movies include Arthur, Get Him To The Greek and Rock Of Ages. Most recently he starred in the documentary The Emperor’s New Clothes which opened in April in the United Kingdom.

Brand has also written many books including, My Booky Wook: A Memoir of Sex, Drugs and Stand-Up, which was on The New York Times best-seller list for five weeks in a row, and the follow up, Booky Wook 2: This Time It’s Personal, Russell Brand’s Trickster Tales and most recently Revolution. For television, Brand hosted the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards and his own show Brand X.

Russell produces his own Youtube web series call The Trews. Started in February 2014 and uploaded every weekday the channel has surpassed one million subscribers and in April posted its 300th episode.

Beginning his career as a stand-up comedian, Brand rose to fame in the UK in 2003 for his Big Brother spin-off, Big Brother’s Big Mouth. He has toured internationally since 2006 and has released many DVDs.

Book now for his gigs at Computicket.
