Russell Brand brings new show to Olympia Theatre

IN HIS new show ‘Re:Birth’ Russell Brand wrestles with the big questions of life while unravelling the matrix of modern media, politics, sex, fatherhood and death.

The show offers a chance to join one of comedy’s fiercest talents as he tries to make sense of life, having just made a new one. 

“How do we make sense of the madness of our lives once we become parents?” he asks.

“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’, 2007’s ‘Only Joking’, 2009’s ‘Scandalous’ (which marked his US live debut) and 2013’s critically acclaimed and hugely successful ‘Messiah Complex’, which was also a best-selling DVD. 

The father-of-one welcomed daughter Mabel in November last year, with his fiancée Laura Gallacher

Aside from stand-up, Russell is also a phenomenally successful broadcaster, actor, author, podcaster, columnist, political commentator as well as a mental health and drug rehabilitation activist.

Re:Birth will begin in April and will visit every corner of the UK and Ireland before finishing in November. 

With Brexit and President Trump dominating the headlines  you can expect some commentary by the firebrand on both topics.

Dublin fans can hear him at the Olympia Theatre on May 23.

Tickets from €34 are on sale now.
