What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

Can't speak for everyone, but in my case: He's an unfunny megalomaniac who's popularity seems to be entirely manufactured and dependent on him being risqué, but he ultimately fails at even that. His "comedy" seems to be little more than him commenting on things that are usually already funny, and therefore coasting on the laughter of that.

On another note, my cousin has been ill for about 5 years now, possibly with ME but still not fully diagnosed as doctors are confused by other symptoms that are present or summat.

anyway i think the story is a year or 2 ago russell was doing a show that she had tickets to, but she fell very ill and had to miss it. as it happened he was in york a few weeks later so they got tickets for that, she wrote to him saying something like missed you last time really looking forward to catching you this time (she's a bit of a geek) possibly asking for a signed photo? well low and behold russel replies to her, includes requested photo, also invites her to come back stage after the show she was attending so she could get to meet him.

So he may well come accross as an annoying prick to some but i bet there aren't many celebs that would go out of there way to do a good deed like that, least of all comics.
