Russell Brand's Ponderland is a comedy aired in six parts on the British television station Channel 4, presented by comedian and actor Russell Brand. The show consists largely of Brand giving a series of monologues in a stand-up style, interspersed with old television and video footage. Critical reaction was mixed, with Rachel Cook in the New Statesman describing it as "a pretty safe kind of laughter" improved by Brand's taste for the surreal. Patricia Wyn Davies in the Telegraph too commented on his "unconventional mind" and said the show also included surprise telephone calls, for instance to the comedian's father. Alexi Duggins in Time Out also suggested that it was unoriginal, comparing it to Harry Hill's TV Burp, and Alex Clark of the Observer wondering why Brand felt the need to resemble Tarrant on TV though appreciating the insights Ponderland gave into Brand himself.
