BB's aggressive stance is a ploy to cover his very privileged posh-boy roots. Talk about massive overcompensation.

Raw, loud, fantastic and disgusting.Between horrified gasps and side aching laughter.Never have I been so enlightened and entertained.10/10 for me!

Awful show. Whats the point in his existence?

Becky Summers, September 2003

Brendon Burns is a skinny, Australian misanthropic, misosgynistic, homophobe with all the insight of Bernard Manning but none of the charm or flair, Richard Littlejohn withot the hair. He plays to a Daily Mailesque audience who "has had just about enough of this PC nonsense" and longs for some old fashioned gags about oriental lezzies. Presumably he needs a knee-jerk PC reaction to justify his existence. If he was actually a funny man, rather than simply an angry dinosaur, that alone might justify it. The problem lies however, not with the subject of his material but simply that his jokes aren't funny. He only relies on shock value so if your neither a rabid Daily Mail reader nor a uptight super-right-on type who gets easily outraged you will find Mr Burns not funny, not shocking, just a bit crap. You can find plenty of Brendan Burns' propping up a bar, by themselves, in any Queensland backwater bar.

Good show, although he should try to put a stop now to the marketing comparing hi with Bill Hicks

Paul Vitles, August 2003

It's all very well being loud and angry but if you're just looking to court controversy by pinpointing easy subjects then it's quite sad. Anyone, really, anyone can talk about 'taboo' subjects to get a reaction. There is no skill involved in what he does. He should stick to playing rooms full of drunken idiots at least then he'll get the immediate knee-jerk reaction he's looking for. Otherwise 'his' audience might just think and realise he has nothing to say, even though he is prepared to shout it.

The man is on gargantuan form this year. The night I saw him, between the tears of laughter, I witnessed a comic speaking absolute truth and systematically destroying taboos. Phenomenal.
