Post subject:  Hoax call 'Branded' him a fool

December 07, 2006

RUSSELL Brand has been carpeted by cops for making a hoax call to them — during a live stage show.

The comic, 31, rang officers to say he had information on a theft he had read about in a local paper.

Russ was halfway through his act when he dialled a number and falsely told a stunned officer his name was Dave Seymour.

The Channel 4 presenter said he could help them solve the mystery of a £50,000 statue stolen from a park after reading about a plea for witnesses. Ladies man Russell even piped the conversation to the stunned sell-out crowd via a loudspeaker.

When the policeman asked why so many people were laughing in the background, cheeky Russ replied: “I’ve got the telly on. I’m watching an episode of The Bill.”

Russell — who was performing at the Assembly Halls Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on Sunday night — then abruptly put down the phone.

Bad call
Russell rapped for phone hoax

Russell Brand has been told off for wasting police time after making a hoax call during his live stage show.
The wind-up came during a part of his act when he reads through local newspapers on stage.

This was something my five year old son did surreptiously one morning before school, just as we were leaving a knock on the door proved to be two very tall policemen who gave him a very hard stare! Frightened the life out of him and he's been a good boy ever since!

Pity Russell Brand has to resort to something a child of 5 would do.
