Tickets go on sale on June 14, 2013 for Russell Brand’s upcoming world stand-up tour which kicks off in San Francisco on August 29th. The Messiah Complex tour will be, according to Live Nation, a “dissection of various social and religious figures and the reality of their lives through comparisons of each other.”
“I am going to tour The World (our one, Earth) with Messiah Complex, causing bother and excitement and offering opinions that have not been either solicited or thought through,” said Brand.
A Description of Russell Brand’s Messiah Complex Tour:
“Messiah Complex is a mental disorder where you think you 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? 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 unrecognized 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.”
