This listing is from a previous year.  Search for current listings.

Since taking away the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2007, Burns has been busy with a successful stint in the US. The adopted Australian and Britain's most outspoken number one cult comic is back: catch him while you can. 'If you want gutsy, poignant, potty-mouthed comedy that'll heal your heart but break your funny bone, then ladies and gentlemen... Mr. Brendon Burns' ★★★★ (Metro). 'The most jaw-droppingly awkward, painful, yet ultimately rewarding piece of stand-up we've ever seen' ★★★★★ (Time Out). Ages: 16+

Brendon Burns

10 Aug 20102 stars

Overly serious rants about killing paedophiles and getting religion

Given that Burns yells from start to finish, why the loudmouth Aussie stand-up needs acoustic accompaniment is anyone’s guess. His guitarist mate’s presence also unbalances the show with an opening comic jam that forces Burns to rush the ending.
