Brendon Burns: Sober Not Clean
Brendon Burns is not the easiest comedian’s in the world to like, at least he wasn’t. The former hard drinking substance abuser has turned over a new leaf. In the third part of his trilogy Burnsy V Brendon, he explains the last twelve months of his life and the traumatic incidents that he has weathered, and in his own inimitable style he has come through. He is not looking for sympathy or praise, this in your face Aussie is not like that, he is just being the true master he is and relating them in a hilarious way. Burns is definitely an acquired taste, but once you have the taste then you are hooked. He seemed genuinely surprised to see a whole lot of young girls near the front and blames this on his publicity photo this year. However, most were laughing away as readily as us veterans, so maybe the new Burnsy has become a pin-up and it’ll be even harder to get tickets than it currently is. If like me you have seen the first two parts of the trilogy you can’t miss part three, but even if you haven’t get a ticket anyway and watch a real master at work. *****
