Used to hate him but his performance at the secret policemans ball and his stand up are well funny. Not overly fussed when he does his essex camp bit, all that 'citing, taint it' is a bit annoying but he does some classics like the Bob Geldof dining out on I hate Mondays for 30 years gag.
I'm sure later on when he is doing some coked out z list up the arse whilst Patsy Kensit is rimming, him he wont be that bothered that the general concesus of NSC is that he is a Wanker.
Mildly amusing .... but very annoying. His stand-up is gash though, Radio 4 recorded some of his shows and they were cack. He's better when he's on someone elses show. We'll be going 'Russell who? ' in a couple of years.
