Early life Brand was born in Grays, Essex, England, as the only child of Barbara Elizabeth Nichols and Ronald Henry Brand who married in 1969 and separated in 1978 when Russell was three. Brand's relationship with his father has always been complicated. At the age of 16 the two traveled to the Far East, where they shared a room and slept with prostitutes. [4] Brand made his theatrical debut aged fifteen, in Bugsy Malone as Fat Sam, and his performances earned him a council funded education at the Italia Conti Academy, which lead to a three-year scholarship at Drama Centre in Chalk Farm. Brand is a former heroin addict, alcoholic and has had numerous run-ins with the law, having been arrested eleven times,[5]; he was also expelled from the Italia Conti Academy when he was younger. During the time of his addiction, he was known for his debauchery, a notable example being his ejection from The Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh.[6] He has been free from heroin addiction since 2003, and is now a patron of the addiction charity Focus 12. His abandonment of drugs and alcohol was supposedly instigated by John Noel, Brand's manager.[7] He did so with the help of the Hare Krishnas, to whom he feels "indebted".[8] He hosted a forum show about drugs for Channel 4 in 2006, which had a similar format to that of Big Brother's Big Mouth, and his stand-up show Better Now drew extensively on his experiences with addiction.[9] Grays is the largest town in the borough and unitary authority of Thurrock to the east of London. ...

Career
Stand-up Brand's first significant stand-up appearance was at the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year final in 2000. Although he did not finish in the top three, his performance attracted the attention of an agent, John Noel. His first big tour was his show Shame which he toured the UK and performed to sell out audiences drawing on embarrassing things that have happened and the tabloid press and how they have treated him since he became famous. In late November 2006 Russell put on a secret stand-up show for anyone who had added him as a friend on MySpace. This show featured unseen material not featured on his DVD. Brand performed a sketch with close friends Matt Lucas & David Walliams for a Little Britain live show for Comic Relief in which he played a crossdressing plumber who comes out to "fellow crossdresser", Emily Howard. Brand appeared in a sketch and did stand-up at the 2006 Secret Policeman's Ball. In March 2007, Brand performed a charity show with Noel Fielding centred around the Goth Detectives. The idea for the show was inspired by Jonathan Ross, who, on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2006, suggested that Fielding could play Bob Skeleton ("Indie Detective"), which led to Brand and Fielding jokingly describing a fictional scenario in which they were "Goth Detectives". The Hackney Empire New Act of the Year is a long-running annual competition run at the Hackney Empire theatre in London to encourage and promote new stand-up comedy talent. ...

In 2004, he hosted E4's Big Brother's E-forum (E4-rum), a sister show to Big Brother 5. The show gave celebrity guests and the public the chance to have their say on the goings-on inside the Big Brother house. For Big Brother 6 the show's name changed to Big Brother's Big Mouth. The ratings for Big Brother's Big Mouth during Big Brother 7 were good. [11] Following the racism row of Celebrity Big Brother 5, Brand confirmed he would not return to host the latest series of Big Brother's Big Mouth (although the row was not cited as the cause); in a statement Brand thanked producers for "taking the risk of employing an ex-junkie twerp" to front the show and of his time presenting the show, he said: "The three years I've spent on Big Brother's Big Mouth have been an unprecedented joy."[12] Brand hosted a one-off special called Big Brother according to Russell Brand in which Brand takes a surreal, sideways look at Big Brother through the ages.

Brand was welcomed back into the MTV fold in spring 2006 when he began presenting chat show 1 Leicester Square initially going out at 8pm Sundays before being shifted to a post-watershed time of 10pm on Mondays, allowing a more adult theme to the show. Guests have included Tom Cruise, Uma Thurman, McFly and Boy George. A second series of 1 Leicester Square began in September 2006 on MTV UK. After Big Brother 7 finished, Brand presented a debate show called Russell Brand's Got Issues, on digital channel E4. The viewing figures for the first episode were seen as disappointing, being beaten by nearly all of E4's main multi-channel rivals, despite a big publicity and promotional campaign for the show and achieving only 148,000 viewers on the opening night. 1 Leicester Square is a chatshow on MTV UK that is hosted by Russell Brand. ...
