Russell Brand might be sprucing up his look to suit Katy Perry, but there is one thing he will never clean up – his comedy routine.

”I ain’t afraid, I don’t give a —-. I will not lose my edge,” he said at a DVD signing in London that was attended by fans in their hundreds.

Brand launched into a commentary on his fellow stand-up comedians who were slammed as offensive – Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle – saying, ”I’ve heard them jokes, they’re good jokes they are. Frankie Boyle is brilliant and Jimmy Carr is brilliant. They’re not trying to be offensive, no one is actually offended, the people saying they’re offended aren’t actually offended, the whole thing is constructed.”

Brand continued:”If you hear it (the joke) delivered cold, like vomit into the nape of your neck, it might be offensive, but mucking around I don’t think is offensive.”

Speaking of the Manuel-gate, the scandal involving lewd messages he left on actor Andrew Sachs’s answer phone, he said, ”I would’ve done nothing differently. I apologise for the thing I did wrong to the person I did it to but the whole subsequent scandal was funny, it is funny I think. It’s just rhubarb and guff.”

Brand also took a moment to comment on Katy Perry’s outfit at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin, which she hosted with sexy lingerie tagged with his name and that of the West Ham team.

He said: ”I don’t think she realised the impact it would have on me because there isn’t a single person in my life that I haven’t at some point sulked about or not spoken to, but with West Ham, even when we went down, there’s not been a single time when I’ve not supported them, plus, she looked amazing.”
