Russell Brand, Comedy Central and Rainy NY Nights.

So Rob & I trekked to NYC last night to see Russell Brand perform at the Museo del Barrio... (can you say "Nursery rhyme murals on the walls! Cool beans!" and "No decent restaurants within walking distance!").

Seriously funny man. And pure sex in chelsea boots. Yum.

And they filmed for Comedy Central (now say "Nobody's allowed to pee for the next three hours! Stay in your seats!") There's nothing that makes me want to urinate more than telling me I have no access to a bathroom.

Kind of fun to see how they do the audience shots - as in before Russell even took the stage. "Ok, clap now - wild applause!" "Laugh, huge guffaws please!" "Now laughter into applause!" "Very good, you all get a cookie." (No actual cookies were promised, or received.)

Come to think of it I didn't even get a fortune cookie with my Chinese take-out. I feel somewhat deprived now. But seeing Ol' Russ made up for it.

It was a really fun, and I wanted to stay and meet him afterwards, but the 3 hour drive in the rain with the promise of accreditation wrap up scheduled for today spurred me home. (Shouldn't have bothered - crap meeting. Would have had more fun sleeping in central park and catching pneumonia. But that's another post that will never happen.)

I'd describe the show in more detail, but you might as well watch it when it airs on Comedy Central! Seriously, watch it. You might see me in the sixth row.
