Russell Brand is now getting a Netflix comedy special
After a brief and weird foray into political documentaries in 2015, Russell Brand is returning to stand-up comedy with a new Netflix deal. As reported by Page Six, Russell Brand has signed a deal to bring a new comedy special called Re:Birth to the streaming service. He’ll be recording it during two live shows in London in April, and a lot of the material reportedly involves Brand’s young daughter—so the name of the special is specifically regarding a birth, even though it looks like the title of a dumb sci-fi video game.
