He's in Australia on his I Am A Walrus stand-up comedy tour.

And Russell Brand, 37, has wasted no time in taking advantage of the warm summer weather.

The comedian spent the day outside watching Australia play South Africa at cricket in Perth on Friday.

The star looked relaxed as he sat in a box at the WACA Ground in the city.

He wore a light brown jacket over a white T-shirt with the message "Anarchy in the U.K." emblazoned across the front.

Russell chose to wear a pair of worn jeans which were made to look old with a number of holes in the legs.

He completed his casual look by wearing a pair of sandals and wore a grey hat on his head and hid behind a pair of dark sunglasses.

Before arriving Down Under, Russell had been in New Zealand and has been tweeting to keep his fans up to date on his movements.

Prior to leaving the country, he wrote: "Goodbye for now NZ, sweet nation of pasture and meth, Maoris and recreational promiscuity. I'll be back on Wellington on 13th Dec."

The star has received great reviews for his shows in the country, with one fan telling The New Zealand Herald: "Absolutely killed it. Brand for president."
