Brendon Green
|
I'm a New Zealand born comedian who tells charmingly crafted personal stories, infused with clever wordplay, sly social obsvervation, and an emotional honesty that sometimes worries my Mother.
Based in Auckland, New Zealand, and performing around the world, I aim to share my jokes and stories with as wide an audience as possible. My stand up is warm, open, and with a sharpness that ensures the audience has a great time with some surprises along the way. My story telling is descriptive, emotional, humane, and transfixing in a way that tickles minds and hearts. The two styles can be smashed together to form a very interesting night, or can be taken as seperate. It's up to you. |
I like quiet people, because they are as close to what the world would be without us.” |

ART MURMERS / 2017
"In a world of comedy where so much is pulp fiction: fast, furious and full of action, Green is literature. His prose is astoundingly well structured. I float in them as the words flow through me, yet he spears us by harpoon during each climax. Green is a rare performer. He creates characters and scenes with such clarity that my imagination plays a movie inside my mind while he speaks." RUMINATOR / 2017
"I rated Brendon as one of the strongest story-telling comics in New Zealand. He didn’t make me a liar. The stories were painted with evocative words, creating imagery in our mind as he poetically wove his way around the English language to describe mundane, not so mundane, and outlandish events in his life. It’s worth it just to hear and see Brendon’s words come to life." APPETITE FOR THE ARTS / 2017
"There’s no denying that Green is a skilled and eloquent raconteur. He has the audience completely transfixed and hanging on to his every word." |
