Russell Brand gets set for Messiah Complex UK tour dates

Russell Brand Messiah Complex UK tour datesThe great one, the Arthur reincarnating miracle working lover of lepers, drunkards, the destitute, buxom lasses, the homeless and city dwelling foxes (we believe) is back on the road with his upcoming world tour, Messiah Complex. Though he’ll be taking in the sights of Bethlehem (the Pennsylvania version) Russell Brand (Arthur 2011, My Booky Wook) will also be fitting in a lot of UK tour dates in 2013 to take his message to the masses.

If you’ve been one of the lucky hundred or so to get cheap tickets to see the work in progress leg of the tour at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington on the 8th August 2013 then you’ll be among the first to see Brand’s theologically focused stand-up show. The rest of us will have to wait until it kicks off in full at the Birmingham Symphony Hall on the 7th October 2013. Full 2013 UK tour dates for the Messiah Complex are below.

The show is ostensibly about the mental disorder in which the sufferer is in firm belief that they are the reborn Messiah. However, above that, it’s apparently an evaluation of heroes and icons in our more modern, theologically mixed and atheistic era. Although, inevitably with Brand’s anarchic whit and pseudo-Messiah complex thrown in for good measure.

In his video to announce the tour (see below) Russell gets out and about in his new-found Californian hood to chat to some of his local homeless chums, who endorse the upcoming tour in their own special way. Hopefully, he reimbursed them handsomely for their time and carefully considered, shamanic words of wisdom.

Tickets for Russell Brand’s, Messiah Complex are on sale from the venues themselves, as well as ticket websites like Ticketmaster. The good news is that they’re a lot cheaper than the Rolling Stones’ last world tour dates, at just £27.50, so everyday fans can get to see the show without remortgaging their bedrooms or selling their kidneys to make lizard feed.

Russell Brand, Messiah Complex world tour synopsis:

Messiah Complex is a mental disorder where the sufferer thinks 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 (wow man you’re blowin my mind!!). Should we even care what they think considering Gandhi slept with naked girls in his bed, Malcolm X dealt drugs and Che Guevara smelt funny?

All great people are flawed, all of us, flawed people are capable of greatness and for every identifiable icon there is an anonymous mob of unrecognised bods doing all the admin and heavy lifting.

This show looks at the importance of heroes in this age of atheistic disposability.

Plus there’s sex. Obviously.
