Russel Brand: Messiah Complex

Russel Brand brings his newest show to Plymouth Pavillions this October.

Fresh from success in the USA Brand brings his unique combination of quick wit, observation and a multifarious vocabulary back to the UK.

Messiah Complex is a mental disorder where the sufferer thinks they might be the messiah.

Did Jesus have it? What about Che Guevara, Gandhi, Malcolm X and Hitler? All these men have shaped our lives and influenced the way we think. Their images are used to represent ideas that often do not relate to them at all. Would Gandhi be into apple? Russell Brand ponders all this and more when he brings his latest UK tour to Plymouth this October.

Would Che Guevara endorse Madonna? Would Jesus be into Christianity. Should we even care what they think considering Gandhi slept with naked girls in his bed, Malcolm X dealt drugs and Che Guevara smelt funny?
All people are flawed, all of us, flawed people are capable of greatness and for every identifiable icon there is an anonymous mob of unrecognised bods doing all the admin and heavy lifting. This show looks at the importance of heroes in this age of atheistic disposability. Plus there's sex. Obviously.

Please note: this show has an age restriction of 12+
