Noel Gallagher, comedy writer?
Oasis star plans sitcom with Russell Brand
Noel Gallagher says he wants to write a sitcom with Russell Brand once he retires from Oasis.The guitarist told The Sun: ‘ I’d like to be part of a team of scriptwriters. I think I’d be good.
‘Russell has been trying to rope me into something but at the moment I can’t commit to anything outside Oasis. But one day - who knows?’
It wouldn’t be Gallagher’s first contribution to comedy, as he wrote the theme tune to the Royle Family.
And he frequently banters with Brand on the comedian’s Radio 2 show.
Brand also said that he’s basing his next movie performance on Gallagher; when he reprises his Forgetting Sarah Marshall role as rocker Aldous Snow.
He said: ‘In Get Him To The Greek, Aldous is now back on drugs. With him being awful rather than clean I can use my friendships with British rock stars more successfully.
‘Noel Gallagher will be a much better resource.’
