About a year ago, I went to see Russell Brand perform live. It was about two hours of non-stop awesomery lighting up the stage. I hate sitting in any kind of theater for a prolonged period of time, but the next-level content of the jokes made time seem to stop altogether. I only had to get up once or twice to stretch.

“I imagine Eva would stand a good distance away and lift her skirt… And then there would be some sort of soggy climax on Hitler’s part. And that would be that.” These words (which sound a lot like a cross between 7 Year Itch and the immaculate orgasm scene from 40 Days and 40 Nights) actually come from author-historian Martin Amis who’s been writing pieces on Hitler for a couple..
