So, I know I already started a thread lower down on this page about Russell Brand but I am too excited to let this get buried (although if a mod wants to merge, I understand?)...
I met Russell Brand last night! Yaaaaaaaaaargh! Anyone who knows me well, knows how much this means to me. I have been a fan since his early days of stand-up. I saw him do his gig (the Re:Birth tour) last night, during the interval I ran up to the stage and had my moment. I think I totally made a knob of myself to be honest...there I was, suddenly standing right in front of him, one of my idols, face-to-face....I felt SO nervous, but I managed to just about tell him that I thought he was doing amazing work on Recovery and addiction ("Thank you, I am just trying my best," he replied) and I got a photo and an autograph. He was lovely. Made time for people. The show was so funny, I'm glad I'm going again next year.
Below are some photos I took. I have to say, not that happy with the way I look in my pic with Russell (unflattering! LOL!) but it's a picture with Russell Brand, therefore it's going to be shared and shown regardless.

Thank you, both! I have been showing the photos to all my friends and family, but they all knew how much it meant to me, so they don't mind putting up with it lol. Dancingmjsdream - ha! So true. I was buzzing and couldn't sleep at all.

Brilliant stuff and great photo. Although I thought you were wearing bunny ears at first! Really pleased for you.
They say never meet your idols and that's why I don't respond to Matty's constant requests for a hook up, so I'm glad he was all you wanted.

Poor @mattyjam π€£ I see what you mean about the bunny ears, ha! I thought the same thing at first when I looked back at it. Thanks Tony. Definitely one of those times when it was good to meet your idols.

Truth is, I don't think you'd be able to handle all I have to offer. When did our banter start becoming this brazenly homoerotic? I blame azzaabb.

I think it was the Top 100 thread when we started ranking each other off.

^^ It's just a joke, although his ranking skills are admittedly impressive.

Apologies Liberian Girl for derailing your thread. I will give Tony a warning.
I saw Russell live a few years back. I do think he is quite brilliant. I have tickets to see him next March and I'm looking forward to it already.

LOL, I had to take a closer look at the photo after seeing this post. I too thought they were bunny ears. Congrats, OP. It must of been awesome to meet somebody you're such a big fan of.
