Brendan Burke gave up a career in microbiology and a life of luxury in the Middle East to pursue life as a stand-up comedian, and has since become one of the finest and most experienced acts from the Emerald Isle.

Brendan weaves together the strands from his life story with his ferocious physicality and bear-like grip on the audience. His latest assault on Edinburgh is an hour of sit-down stand-up comedy and hilarious stories - armed with nothing but a microphone, a spotlight and a comfy chair.
