Russell Brand did not disappoint his fans. They had turned out in their hundreds to see the comedian despite the allegations of serious sexual misconduct levelled against him, strenuously denied by the comedian, and their solidarity was rewarded by his defiance.
“Support for Russell” was the theme of the night, during a set in which the most political and anti-authoritarian perforations earned the biggest applause. Tate, 36, was released from a prison in Romania on house arrest in April and has since been charged with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women.
The messages of support apparently stem from the belief that Brand’s large following on social media and anti-establishment opinions are of concern to those in power. There was no sign of protest outside, and inside, those attending the show were always confident it would go ahead, without any intervention by either Brand or the venue.Queues for the stall selling Brand merchandise were briefly as long as those for the bar and the hot-dog stand: fans could purchase Brand-branded t-shirts, mugs, water bottles and notepads marked with the word “Community” and his frequently used crow symbols.
