Brendon Burns

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".

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.

* "Buckets and Sulphur"
