Brendon Burns: Sober Not Clean

Saw Brendon last week in the Soho Theatre, absolutely awesome. Go see him!!

Steve, March 2007


Bloody brilliant.

Never seen him before, but it was just brilliant. He had massive energy, had everyone in fits. Really really enjoyable, haven't laughed so much for ages. Plus, I wish I had seen the other two parts of the trilogy. Brendon, Burnsy whoever, you are a legend.

Soph, August 2006


Summed up well by previsous comments. His ability to draw you into his experiences and take you on a journey are second to none. I sometimes wonder how much is factually true, but he delivers with such conviction, even the audience trigger digressions, that you find it impossible to question anything. I've been looking forward to this for a year and it was worth every day I waited.

Awesome, delicious, painful, hilarious - this really is the whole kit and caboodle. I really hope that for his own sake, and for the sake of his incredibly impressive mind, Brendon stays on that wagon. That way I am convinced he'll provide nothing but superb, sharp comedy.

The most beautifully written hour of stand up I've ever seen. By the end I was laughing but with such a big lump in my throat I thought I'd choke. The man is a legend.

Yes totally agree with Mark, saw his preview in Sheffield and the Burns is back with a vengence. Funniest hour of comedy I've seen all year.

Well Brendon is back for another year and this time to complete his trilogy (don't worry if you've not seen the previous two as he gives a summary to get you up to speed). Last year I posted a review filled with sadness as I thought I had witnessed the end of my favourite comic. However, I am overjoyed to report that this year he has cleaned up and is better than ever. I found this show not only funny, but also very moving. Brendon has always shared a little of himself in his show, but now it feels very real and like everyone is part of something meaningful and important. I would love to think that finally Brendon can get the recognition from the Perrier judges that he deserves, but alas I fear that his upfront, not-for-telly act will exclude him from the award. I already have tickets for many more shows in the festival, but I am confident that this first show will be my favourite. Go see this show and you will be apart of a rare fringe talent. He is not simply a joke teller but a true craftsman back at the top of the game. Brilliant!
