Biography

Australian comic Brendon Burns has been performing comedy since the early Nineties and is known for his aggressive stage presence and controversial material.

He briefly hosted the 11 O'Clock Show and even more briefly the ITV2 spin-off show I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here Now!, walking off after just three shows.

However it is live – and especially in his solo shows – where he has forged a reputation, with six live CDs to his name. He has also performed at Montreal and South African comedy festivals

He first appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1996, hosting The Comedy Zone showcase of new acts, and performing in his debut solo show 6pm Time To Get Up For Work. He has returned to the Fringe every year since, except for 1999, and in 2007 won its top prize, the if.comedy award

A trilogy, Burnsy versus Brendon, which ran at Edinburgh in 2004, 2005 and 2006, examined his own life – culminating in his mental breakdown and drinks and drugs rehabilitation at the Priory.

Saw Brendon the other night at the MICF and it's great to have him back. I think I recall last time he was drinking and smoking on stage and maybe even a bit more subdued than he was the other night. Still waiting to read the review from that gig as both the reviewer and his mother were there on the same night which must have had some impact on the show, perhaps made it better? I've convinced all my mates to go next week. Keep coming back to Melbourne despite your hatred for us Melbournians.

Saw Brendon last year and he was fantastic, coped with persistent heckling extremely well. Really looking forward to seeing him this year at the Altitude Festival.

Y, February 2009


Saw Brendon last night at the Frog & Bucket during the Manchester Comedy festival, the intensity and routine was fantastic. One of the best nights I have had in the past few years, keep out of the front row as you are likely to get splashed with spit and get picked on during one of his rants. His routine on our Liverpool neighbours last night was the best routine. A superb comic, great timing, and hopefully will never go mainstream onto TV and tone down his act.

Simon Barlow, October 2008


I went in to the Assembly Rooms a might fearful, yet I came out with love for another man, a damn funny and warmer than I expected man to boot, well done Brendon!

Darren Smith, Liverpool, August 2008


I saw Brendan last (13/8/8) night for the first time as he compered at the Fringe. He was brilliant. I particularly enjoyed seeing others sit stoney faced as he became more and more deviant and offensive. His take on Arnie was classic.

Andy, August 2008


Yes its loud, and inevitably some of his rants will have you squirming uncomfortably, but there's a hell of a lot of giggling too. Particularly identified with Brendan's observations about the 'algebraic' nature of some relationships.(can't complain - got me a decent washing machine!). Also his observations about men that 'give up the fight'. So very true.

Jo Phelan, July 2008


I wish you all the best for your Fringe run - I'll be spreading the word about your comedy again... cheers for the laughs.

Mark, June 2008


Just saw his show at Soho Theatre and was expecting a lot as friends had recommended him, but got very little really. First 20 mins were quite funny but after that it was pretty boring/offensive, with a twist at the end which was meant to make you think but just seemed an excuse for what had gone before. Also two very obviously Bill Hicks-influenced skits. Love Hicks, don't think he'd have loved this.

Tim, May 2008
