10/10
Hilarious and moving

Ah. Only Russell Brand can make me laugh in one moment and cry in the next. This is Brand at his best... I cried when he asked, "Where are you Nan?" and responds, "I've gone ain't I, boy..." it is a moment of great intimacy, which moved me to tears, immediately followed by a joke, but not for comedic relief... just because that's what he does. All the shades of life.

I was moved, too, when he talked about vortexes. He doesn't put anything on and is true to form - self(read: ego)-critical, full of love and boy wonder. When he talks about everyone being babies, I laughed the type of laugh you laugh with your best friend.

I'd watch it again in a heartbeat.
