Ha Ha Comedy is proud
to present the unofficial World Champion of Comedy Brendon Burns.
Fresh
from his triumphant run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer where
he was awarded comedy’s highest accolade, The If.comedy award (formerly the Perrier Award), Brendon Burns is coming
to Glasgow for ONE night only.
For
the last sixteen years, Brendon
Burns has stormed audiences the world over.
His stage presence is electric, his material provocative and his
insight surprisingly subtle.
He uses his confrontational and up-front style of comedy to capture
his audience with a proverbial slap in the face.
He is neither politically correct nor incorrect making him a rare
socio-political comic willing to oppose all schools of thought. With this
in mind, it’s no surprise that Burns has been compared to such legends
as: Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks.
Brendon
has courted controversy wherever he’s been.
He once got banned from BBC television for snogging a goat live on
air, he handed out enough mushrooms at the Glastonbury festival to get a
thousand people high because Bill Hicks and John Lennon talked about it
but didn’t, he wrote a trilogy that sent him clinically mad and was
committed to a mental institution, he walked off the set of “Help I’m
a celebrity get me out of here NOW” live on air after just three days,
and now Britain’s most controversial comedian embarks on his second UK
national tour.
"You
have only ever really toked on pure socio-political comedy. With Brendon
you are mainlining, and the hit is a feeling I will never, ever forget,
the smartest thing I have ever seen in the comedy section "
***** (Kate Copstick, The Scotsman)
"Damn
funny, Will leave you gasping and awestruck... Go see" ***** (Steve Bennet, Chortle)
"The
must see show from the Edinburgh fringe"***** (Dominic
Maxwell, The Times)
“He's
honestly the best thing I've seen in a long long time” *****
(The Guardian)
"talk
of the fest genius" **** (Bruce
Dessau, Evening Standard)
"It
is a tremedous thrill to see a comedian who has been excelling at his
craft for years reach a new peak, a fascinating show, extremely funny and
very moving **** (The Stage)
Will heal your heart and tickle your funny bone, The stand
out comic of the festival *****(Mickey Noonan, The Metro)
Overwhelming
- comedy reimagined as mass therapy (The Fest)
Remains
undiminished at his blasphemous best *****
The Herald
An
exceptionally funny performer … an ode to the healing power of human
spirit **** (Edinburgh Evening News)
You
can’t miss … buy a ticket and watch a real master at work ***** (One4review.com)
Just
occasionally a comedy show is so good it is like falling in love. You run
out, punching the air, felling full to the brim with lust for life and
joy. I ran out of mobile phone
juice calling my friends and telling them to buy tickets, Loud brash, rude
in your face and fantastically, laugh-out loud funny.
This is really something special, a show that makes you howl with
laugher, which takes you right up to the emotional edges and which draws
its strength from something very deep and pure.
Long live Brendon Burns. *****
(The Scotsman)
“Burns has emerged triumphant, loud, brash, rude, in your face and
