Unlike most, here’s someone who never shies away from sharing an honest thought, be it at his own expense (or others!). And that’s what we love about Russell Brand!
As a comedian and an actor (remember him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him To The Greek?!), his special brand of humour has made many heads turn. Though it’s his recent work as a political activist that really makes you want to pay close attention. After all, not many can make you LOL, and ‘think policy’ at the same time! Well that’s what he does, everyday (just check out his web series, The Trews aka true news).
Now we know he’s been to India before (for his wedding!), but this time he’s here just for us, to make us laugh all weekend long! Headlining the second season of the Comedy Central Chuckle Festival 2015 powered by Vivo, he’ll be performing across Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai, from June 26 to June 28, 2015. Also joining him for the funniest-weekend-ever will be Vir Das and Papa CJ.

Just to warm you up to #ChuckleWithRussell, here are few hilarious Russell Brand quotes (as if enacted by fellow comedians!)
“Fame loses a little of its cache when you have to tell people that you have it.”
“How long is it polite to continue to be interested in what someone says after they reveal they’ve got a boyfriend?”
“If you’re in a room with Britney Spears, you just want to say, “What did you shave your head for, love?”
“I was going to listen to that, but then I just carried on living my life.”
“Please don’t speak ever again. You are essentially, an oxygen thief.”
“Even as a junkie I stayed true [to vegetarianism] – ‘I shall have heroin, but I shan’t have a hamburger.’ What a sexy little paradox.”
“My life is a series of embarrassing incidents strung together by telling people about those embarrassing incidents.”
“My personality just doesn’t work without fame. Without fame, this haircut looks like mental illness.”
Are you rolling yet? Well, don’t let the fun stop. Here’s Russell telling you why!
That’s not all!
