He’s known for wearing his heart on his sleeve, but outspoken Russell Brand had something rather more tangible scrawled below his wrist during an appearance in London on Monday evening.

The versatile actor and comedian, 41, made an exit from Covent Garden’s Fortune Theatre after entertaining fans on the latest stage of his Trewly Live Tour – an intimate, experimental show that has given Brand an opportunity to début new material.

Given the unpolished nature of his latest tour, previously described as a work in progress, the verbose star still sported a series of handwritten prompts on his hand as he made his way towards a waiting car.

Here he comes: Russell Brand was seen exiting Covent Garden’s Fortune Theatre after entertaining fans on the latest stage of his Trewly Live Tour – an intimate, experimental show that has given him an opportunity to debut new material

Brand looked preoccupied while chatting on his phone, but his detachment did not prevent a fan offering the comedian a warm embrace.

The star will take to the stage again in Hayes on Thursday evening as he continues to preview his latest series of topical gags.

Elsewhere Brand has reportedly become engaged to his girlfriend Laura Gallacher, who is thought to be pregnant.

A source tells The Sun that the father-to-be, who was previously married to songstress Katy Perry, wanted 'to do the right thing' by making the blonde beauty his wife.

The funnyman is believed to have thrown an engagement party at his Oxfordshire home in July, attended by Laura's famous sister Kirsty and Footballers' Wives beauty Susie Amy.

Reports surfaced in May that the former lothario is expecting his first child with live-in girlfriend Laura, 27, who was said to be five months’ pregnant.

That's a bit handy: The comedian's scrawled notes were visible during his brief appearance outside the London venue

The duo were said to be making plans for a nursery at their luxury riverside home in the village of Aston near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

Brand previously hinted at impending fatherhood by posting a photograph of himself on his Instagram account peeking out from behind a book titled The Expectant Dad's Handbook.

The caption alongside the photograph reads: 'Right then. My Mum bought me this. Time to get ready! #trewlit #bookstagram #parenting.'
