Tickets are now on sale at Computicket for the additional Johannesburg show on Friday, 15 November at the Teatro at Montecasino and the additional Cape Town date of Wednesday, 20 November. Russell brand will now be in South Africa for a total of five dates.

Since the announcement of the South African leg of the Russell Brand “Messiah Complex” tour was made earlier in July, tickets have been in high demand resulting in sell-out shows. “The response to his tour has been phenomenal and we encourage 'Brand fans' to take advantage of the two extra shows by booking now to avoid disappointment,” says Showtime’s Tony Feldman.

Presented by Showtime Management and 94.7 Highveld Stereo in association with Phil McIntyre Entertainment, Russell Brand the “Messiah Complex” tour will be a dissection of various social and religious figures and the reality of their lives through comparisons of each other. Messiah Complex is a mental disorder where one thinks they might be the messiah. “I dedicate this Messiah Complex tour to the four men that are its subject, Che Guevara, Gandhi, Malcolm X and Jesus - I know this is what they would have wanted.” says Brand. The “Messiah Complex” tour includes the United Kingdom, Ireland, USA, Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and South Africa.
