What did Russell Brand do to get famous? I remember him back in the 2010s being known for questioning existing power structures. Like, he got on stage at some event sponsored by Hugo Boss and brought up the fact that they made uniforms for the nazis.

Stand up. I saw him on tour before he was famous. 2003ish I think.
