More Russell Brand Video. Described by the Telegraph as "the most talented stand-up comedian to emerge in Britain so far this decade," Russell Brand made his theatrical debut, aged 15, in "Bugsy Malone" as Fat Sam. Essex Council decreed it criminally neglectful to allow his chameleon-like ability to put on hats to go un-nurtured and promptly funded an education at the fancy Italia Conti stage school, which led to a three-year scholarship at the acclaimed Camden Drama Centre.

In his spare time Russell began performing stand-up in pubs around London and reached the final of Hackney Empire's prestigious "New Act of the Year" competition. He was denied the victory allegations of jury rigging came to naught but was a runner-up, and his angry political rantings caught the eye of Time Out's Malcolm Hay, who dubbed him "Essex's Bill Hicks.

Further gigs at the Empire followed, as did a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival, which garnered glowing reviews and an appearance in the "So You Think You're Funny? MTV caught Russell's show at the festival and gave him his own series, "Dance Floor Chart," where he bantered bizarrely with intoxicated youths in discos. Additionally he presented "Select," their flagship peak-time phone-in show.
