“It’s a call for freedom, a call for unity, a call for sanity!” the description of the special reads.
The comedy special launched on Rumble’s subscription-based platform Locals on Monday before becoming available as a pay-per-view option on Wednesday.
“Rumble is the natural home for my new comedy special Brandemic,” Brand said, according to a report. “Ask yourself, could this special be on the mainstream media — and did it originate from a lab or a wet market?”

“His hilarious and quick-witted approach to controversial topics is what makes him a top podcaster on Rumble and Locals,” Rumble Chairman and CEO Chris Pavlovski said. “This is an exciting step for Rumble, and our pay-per-view feature sets up a competitive form of monetization for our top creators.”
Brand will soon be joined by conservative commentator Steven Crowder as he also transfers his show from YouTube to Rumble after reportedly signing a deal with the platform last week.
