Russell Brand has announced a five-date tour around Ireland.

The comedian will be touring his new show, RE:BIRTH which surrounds the topic of parenthood, having become a father for the first time early last year.

According to Russell he will be trying to answer such questions as, "How do we make sense of the madness of our lives once we become parents? What am I going to tell my daughter about conformity and responsibility? What happens if she grows up to be like me or, worse, date someone like me?”

Aside from stand-up, Russell is also a broadcaster, actor, author, podcaster, columnist, political commentator as well as a mental health and drug rehabilitation activist.

So, we’ve a feeling that he’ll have a lot to say.
