RUSSEL BRAND
For hard-hitting international comedy, comedian, actor and author, RUSSELL BRAND will take over the Teatro at Montecasino on 16 and 17 November 2013 as part of his world stand-up tour. Keeping in line with Brand’s comedic style, the tour, officially named “MESSIAH COMPLEX”, will be a dissection of various social and religious figures and the reality of their lives through comparisons of each other. Messiah Complex is a mental disorder where you think you 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. This show looks at the importance of these heroes in this age of atheistic disposability. Plus there’s sex. Obviously. Tickets now on sale from R350 to R550.
