The Trews is a YouTube web series by English comedian, actor and activist Russell Brand. The Trews features Brand and his take on media as it appears in newspapers or on television as well as special episodes in which Brand responds to comments left by viewers. The show's name is a portmanteau of "true" and "news". The show is generally a solo piece to camera supplemented with clips and screenshots from the media but at times also features interviews with celebrities, activists and other guests. Notable guests have included Alain de Botton, Alastair Campbell and George Monbiot.
