Hot Entertainment: Stand-Up Guy

Comedian Russell Brand

You might know him as Aldous Snow from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek, or as the author of My Booky Wook: A Memoir of Sex, Drugs and Stand-Up and Booky Wook 2: This Time It’s Personal, or even as Mr. Katy Perry, but Russell Brand is also an eccentric stand-up comedian. See his act at the Red Robinson Show Theatre (Aug. 5) and the River Rock Show Theatre (Aug. 6).—Sheri Radford

Her songs all shoot straight to the top of the pop charts. Last year she married professional funny man Russell Brand. She’s been a judge on TV’s The X Factor, released a fragrance, filmed a role in the upcoming movie The Smurfs—and, if her 2008 hit single is telling the truth, she’s kissed a girl. Is there anything the “Teenage Dream” singer can’t do? Catch Katy Perry’s eclectic live show at Rogers Arena (Jul. 19).—Sheri Radford
