Brendon Burns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brendon Burns is an Australian comedian who has mostly performed in the UK. Burns' stand-up routine is typified by an aggressive, confrontational delivery.

Burns' television career began, alongside Sacha Baron Cohen and Ricky Gervais, as a performer on Channel 4's late-night spontaneous comedy show The Eleven O'Clock Show. He has subsequently appeared as a presenter on the ITV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, and as the conductor of masterclasses in stand-up (again on ITV).

Burns appeared on ITV2's Comedy Cuts.

Brendon won the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival's if.comedy award (formerly known as the Perrier Comedy Award) for his show So I Suppose This Is Offensive Now.[1]

At the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Brendon Burns appeared alongside Adam Hills and Sammy J in a stage version of Breaker Morant, by The Comedians' Theatre Company which was directed by comedian Phil Nichol.

Burns' albums include:

  • Buckets and Sulphur
  • Misspent Childhood
  • Not for Everyone
  • Brendon vs Burnsy
  • All My Love All My Rage
  • Sober not Clean

He famously gave out Magic Mushrooms (then legal) to an entire audience at the Glastonbury festival as part of a documentary being filmed by friend and film maker Paul Provenza. [2]
