Russell Brand sweetened up fans at his Theatre Royal show by handing out cookies and spending 'the entire interval trying to meet everyone'.

The comedian performed in Norwich on Monday night as part of his 71-date Re:Birth tour and earned 'respect' for sacrificing his interval for selfies with the audience.

He also left chocolate-chip cookies on seats with a Hare Krishna sticker on them.

@petebilton also tweeted: 'Rather than have an interval, Russell Brand just spent 20 minutes coming around the whole room meeting everyone. So much respect for that.'

The controversial comic was even spotted climbing over seats to meet wheelchair users so they did not miss out.

@kate_mate_68 tweeted: Went to watch @rustyrockets at @TheatreRNorwich with an open mind. His use of interval time was the best I've ever seen.

'He went into the stalls, chatted to fans, had pics & made his way to the wheelchair users, where he spent all his time having selfies etc'.
