Russell Brand @ RAMA ; worth the wait

Russell Brand is incredible quick and witty. His command of the english language would even raise the furry eyebrows on Noam Chomsky. Moments after taken the stage, my wife and I found RB standing directly behind us as he made his way through the sell out crowd. Unique. That's the only word I can think of to describe RB. He has a style all his own. RB poked fun of our Canadian names ; Orillia, Ontario, Toronto, Ottawa, Canada. At one point RB asked if he was performing on a Indian Burial Ground? "What is this place?", RB kept asking. "A Casino?" RB took the time to sit down with two "golden girls" from Casino Rama and gave each a nice hug. RB even was kind enough to provide a glossary of terms and slang so we Canadians could easily interpret his native UK diction. For example "wanking" means "jerking off". Sitting in the front row RB had fun with Brady the Trailer Park worker. Referring to him as Cheech (Cheech & Chong) from Lord of the Rings. The night ended with RB and "Cheech" ringing up a escort ad from the Toronto Sun. I believe one nervous male sitting in the audience yelled out "what happens if someone's phone rings in the audience?" RB- "oh well" or something to that effect. You had to wonder if the concern may have been his date came from the Toronto Sun. Russell Brand hilarious show. T Brady, if you're reading this, "what did your sister say after the show?".

I am Bradys cousin and was at the show with him, his sister thought it was hilarious and made her night, even though, no she wasnt at home getting high she was actually studying for her university exam, she said it was a little hard to concentrate after that.
