More Brendon Burns videos

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.

Was totally rubbish in Brighton

Steve, October 2005

About as dangerous as a tiny ickle kitten, and as funny as seeing said kitten being steamhammered to death

The man is a comic genuis. I love his abuse

Jacko, August 2005

Anyone who finds Brendon or Burnsy 'unfunny' or 'offensive' needs a good fuckin slap! Both sides to his comic personality are funny as fuck.

Killian Monson, August 2005

I hold my hands up, I'm not actualy funny, more foul mouthed and a teenie bit insecure.

Burnsy, July 2005

ust a fantastic comic

Jubie, July 2005

I missed the show at Glastonbury, but my mates saved me a few shrooms from the many kilos he gave out. Any man who gives away about a grand's worth of shrooms to his audience can't be all bad, surely? I applaud the man, belatedly, but I applaud him nonetheless.

Brendon Burns made Glastonbury for me and my boyfriend. What a funny, totally great bloke. By the way thanks for the mushrooms Brendon
