His Brand of Recovery

“Russell Brand: Recovery Live” is a funny and profane exploration into personal development and wellness from the comedian who, after years of addiction and poor choices, has dedicated himself to spirituality “to avoid self-destruction.” Brand – who was married for 14 months in the early 2010s to Santa Barbara-raised pop star Katy Perry – leads a 90-minute experience that introduces the system that “saved his life, continues to save his sanity and will work for anyone who is willing to commit to it.” The program is described as an alternative vision for life at a time devoid of real values and connection, delivered by Brand, a comedian, actor and activist for mental health and drug rehabilitation who is also the author of seven books, including The New York Times’ bestseller Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, and Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped.
