Russell Brand, Noel Gallagher and John Bishop let the expletives and slaggings run free before a Comic Relief gig.
Comic Relief is a worthy cause, but it doesn't mean you can’t have fun with it. Host of the ‘Give It Up for Comic Relief’ gig, Russell Brand let loose at the fundraiser to herald the Red Nose day events next week. Joining the wild and wacky presenter before his set was Noel Gallagher, where the two bantered back and forth with plenty of cursing.
The two let their tongues loose, ‘effing’ this and ‘effing’ that, safe in the knowledge that their pre-gig interview wasn't being filmed… except it was. While Brand interviewed the infamously grumpy musician, the big screens outside the stage curtain showed their antics, and somebody filmed it. While it was not broadcast to the world, there’s plenty who will see it online.
Noel grumbled about his name being mis-spelt in the programme while Brand took the mick out of him referring to an old quote about drugs being like ‘a cup of tea’ and ‘chewing gum’.
Joining them on stage was comedian John Bishop who also bantered with Noel about their territorial differences. While the commentary was light hearted, it certainly wasn't fit for a television audience, especially after Brand’s track record with the BBC (he was fired after he prank-called Andrew Sachs live on radio in 2008).
Good, if not so clean, fun for charity. The Comic Relief Red Nose Day runs on March 15th.
