Russell Brand once made a joke about rape in front of an audience in a shocking unsurfaced clip.<\/p>\n

The Get Him To The Greek actor, 48, was the subject of\u00a0Channel 4\u00a0and The Times\u2019 collaborative Dispatches episode on Saturday night in which he faced\u00a0allegations of rape, sexual assault,\u00a0and controlling and emotionally abusive behaviour from multiple women, one of who claims she was 16 years old at the time.<\/p>\n

The comedian has\u00a0denied the \u2018very very serious allegations\u2019\u00a0in a video posted across his\u00a0social media\u00a0platforms on Friday night ahead of the episode, as well as\u00a0an expose from the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Amid the scandal, Brand performed a show at Wembley Arena in which he was cheered on by the crowd.<\/p>\n

In a now-deleted YouTube video, the controversial comedian can be seen joking about \u2018raping someone once\u2019 in an interview for Richard Herring\u2019s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast in 2013.<\/p>\n

Mail Online reports that in the video, Brand claims to be a \u2018comprehensive show-off\u2019 from a \u2018single parent family\u2019 before he makes the jab.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

As the audience fell silent, Brand said \u2018oh I\u2019ve raped someone once\u2019 and \u2018killed her after\u2019 to which Herring and the audience laughed.<\/p>\n

He then went on to joke about the ancient Greeks having sex with children during the creation of mathematics, going as far as to mimic the act.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve done another triangle. I\u2019m f***ing a little kid. This is great. F**k the kid with the triangle. No that\u2019s too much,\u2019 he continued.<\/p>\n

Brand also joked about the women in the audience, saying: \u2018Look at the women in this room. Even a bold estimate would be that I\u2019ve slept with half of them. Currently.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His remaining tour dates are still scheduled to continue, with him listed to perform at Windsor\u2019s Theatre Royal on Tuesday, September 19, Plymouth\u2019s The Pavilions on September 22 and finally, Wolverhampton\u2019s The Civic at the Halls on September 28.<\/p>\n

There are no signs of cancellation and as it stands, posters for the star\u2019s show remain live on the venues\u2019 websites \u2013 with Windsor\u2019s fixture being sold out.<\/p>\n

On their website, the live show\u2019s description reads: \u2018Rules and rule breaking! Democracy and freedom!<\/p>\n

\u2018We reach conclusions from mass confusion by polling the live audience. We want to hear YOUR opinion.<\/p>\n

\u2018After amassing a movement of 25 million people across his digital channels, the Community festival and the live show Stay Free; the cultural and political commentator and award-winning British comedian is back on stage.\u2019<\/p>\n
