Burnsy is pure quality, loud brash and piss-your-pants funny, this man deserves your hard earned cash.

If you're curious and/or put off by some of the negative comments here, don't be. Took my girlfriend to his show last week and he brought the house down. Very very funny, certainly amongst the best (quite possibly THE best) of the festival. Left with a CD which Brendon signed afterwards, and he was charming and very polite - even when I asked him to draw something quite childish in the sleeve - the opposite of his cartoony character in the show. Thought provoking, and forwarding thinking - Don't miss him, TV's loss is our gain.

AMAZING! His preview show is just amazing. He is going to take Edinburgh by storm.

Back for more! I went and saw Brendon's Ed preview show last night. He just keeps getting better and better. I think its a shame when someone just doesn't get what Brendon's about. You really are missing out. But then I suppose you do have to go with an open mind and be able to laugh at everything, quite a difficult thing when your going to see a stand up i know.

Oh my god, you idiot. That's the exact opposite of everything I said. Get yourself a real name you tit. It wasn't irony it was admitting to my own shortcomings and I said that I'm guilty of thinking that something I said wasn't racist because... You know what forget it. The jokes don't work if I have to explain them. It's not me it's you. You're an utter buffoon, don't come back. Incidentally I notice you don't see the hypocrisy in your own statement which is why you're the butt of the joke. People write some shit up here but you take the cake. Moron, utter moron. Go back, proof read.... Shhhh take your time. Do you get it yet? No well I look forward to your response some time late next year. Wow you're dumb. How you've not choked on your car keys or a small toy I'll never know. Shhhh you're an idiot never speak again.

Unbeatable - if you like the sort of comedy that involves being shouted at about cock, shit and pussy by an arrogant, coarse Aussie with a massive ego and nothing to say. The pretence that the point of his unpleasant, freqently misogynist, rants is to be ironic is not good enough - he lacks the elegance or subtlety required to do this intelligently. Trying to impress us by telling us about his media career (irrelevant), his hellraising past (yawn) and his famous friends (this material can't be racist, one of my best friends is black) while laughing at his own jokes, on top of infantile attempts to offend us, made for the most tedious evening I have spent at a comedy club in a long time. However you might enjoy it if you are stupid, drunk, or Australian.
