Russell Brand: Messiah Complex (2013)
Recorded live at Hammersmith Apollo, Russell questions the values of heroes and leaders. ‘Messiah Complex’ is a disorder where sufferers think they might be the messiah. Did Jesus have it? What about Che Guevara, Gandhi, Malcolm X and Hitler? All these men have shaped our lives and influenced the way we think. Their images are used to represent ideas that often do not relate to them at all. Would Gandhi be into Apple? Would Che Guevara endorse Madonna? Would Jesus be into Christianity? He concludes it’s all a load of rubbish and encourages the audience to stop voting, ignore advertising, look to the transcendent within themselves and others...and kick over some bins on their way home. Plus there’s sex. Obviously.

All in all, vintage Bill Bailey with trademark musical mash-ups, multi-lingual riffs, films, songs, philosophizing and silliness on a grand scale…plus one amazing owl. “Qualmpeddler is... part rock-concert, part political discourse, part philosophical enquiry... masterfully constructed... the thinking person’s comedian...” - Herald Sun, Melbourne.

Paul Taylor : So British Ou Presque (2022)
Je m'appelle Paul, je suis Anglais et j'habite en France. J'ai fait un premier spectacle de stand-up intitulé "#Franglais" which was half in English and half in French. It went pretty well, so I've decided to do another show called "So British (ou presque)". It's the same concept. A show that is in both languages but with brand new jokes and stories that you've never seen before. Et si tu te poses la question: "Est-ce que je vais comprendre son anglais?", j'ai une astuce: si t'as compris cette description, c'est bon. Sinon, j'ai un pote qui peut t'aider à préparer le TOEIC. Si tu ne sais pas ce que c'est le TOEIC, là, je peux vraiment pas t'aider. If your French is good enough to understand this description, you'll bee laughing. See you on stage!
