Russell Brand has appeared live on stage in London hours after being publicly accused of rape and sexual assault.
The comedian is performing a show at the Troubabour Wembley Park theatre, which began just after 8pm – roughly an hour after its scheduled start time, the PA news agency reported.
A video of him walking on stage, published by The Sun, shows him smiling and telling crowds: “Thank you, thank you, I love you.”
Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse in a Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches investigation – allegations he denies.
Four women have made allegations of sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013 while he was at the height of his fame, according to the newspaper.
The Sunday Times reports that others have made a range of accusations about Brand‘s controlling, abusive and predatory behaviour.
In an overnight video put out on YouTube, Brand denied “very serious criminal allegations” that he said would be made against him by a newspaper and TV company.
In the video, entitled “So, This is Happening”, the comedian denied the claims that he described as “a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks”.
