London | Russell Brand did not disappoint his fans. They had turned out in their hundreds to see him perform, despite allegations of serious sexual misconduct levelled against him in the media, and their solidarity was rewarded.

The UK comedian and actor, who has strenuously denied allegations made on Saturday in a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches, received a standing ovation after stepping onstage to a packed house at Wembley Park Theatre in north-west London on Saturday night (Sunday AEST).
