This is the first biography of Russell Brand, presenter of Big Brother’s Big Mouth, Time Out magazine’s comedian of the year and most recently presenter of Radio 2’s Saturday night show. The most talked about man of the moment, this biography features exclusive interviews with Russell’s friends, colleagues and family and never before seen photographs. Russell Brand dares to delve into the weird world of comedy’s hottest property. And it makes one hell of a discovery, including a battle with depression, self-harm, long-term bulimia, heroin and crack addictions and the use of prostitutes to satiate his rampant sexual appetite. His legendary drug-fuelled TV ‘pranks’ meant he was sensationally axed from both MTV and XFM. But a mere four years on from hitting rock bottom, Brand has staged an impressive comeback. His searingly honest stand-up routines have been met with rave reviews, while his madcap TV presenting continues to pick up both fans and critical acclaim. Romantically linked to Kate Moss and at least three Big Brother ex-housemates, he is rarely, if ever, out of the headlines, and for good reason – who knows what he may do next?
