He currently can be seen on Amazon’s Alpha House and on the forthcoming season of Comedy Central’s Broad City.
Australia’s Chuckle Club contribution this month, Brendon Burns is not your everyday com-ic. Older, wiser, calmer (And after being fitted with a hearing aid, infinitely quieter) Brendon’s energy is still enticing. His turn of phrase is coarse yet oddly eloquent, whilst remaining fully accessible and intensely loveable. Never pompous and ever self-deprecating he just somehow seems to get away with murder. His influence is ubiquitous throughout the stand up world. Often replicated but never matched, his shows aren’t just extended sets, Burns specialises in creating experiences: forever exper-imenting with the form and throwing himself new challenges. With nine albums, eighteen one-man shows, three stand up live specials, he’s also a critically acclaimed author and playwright. We could mention he’s performed for over two decades at every festival around the world and done gigs on eve-ry continent bar the Antarctic (gig pending). “Honestly the best thing I’ve seen in ages”- The Guardian
Last but certainly not least, Chuckle Club’s Martin Mor, hails from Northern Ireland, and after a successful career as a circus performer, he turned his attention on the unsuspecting come-dy circuit. With over 25 years experience as a professional performer, Martin has established him-self as one of the UK’s most popular and in-demand comedians. Martin has performed successful-ly at events of all descriptions; from the Hammersmith Apollo to a show for the inmates of an Italian prison, from comedy clubs to performing before members of the British Royal Family. Very much the comedian’s comedian, Martin has been the support act of choice for; Frankie Boyle, Jack Dee, Lee Evans, Jasper Carrot, Patrick Kielty, Johnny Vegas, Steve Coogan, and once Tina Turner.
With numerous appearances on radio and television, Martin has worked at all levels of the indus-try; being a warm up man, devising and performing his own television show, and writing jokes for some of the biggest names in British comedy. A truly global performer, Martin has worked throughout the known world performing his shows extensively in Britain, Ireland, The USA, Italy, Holland, Germany, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. “Off-beat, unusual, outrageous." Time Out.
