Brendon Green

​Comedian / Writer

Brendon Green

I'm a New Zealand born comedian and TV writer with over a decade in on stage experience.  I tell charmingly crafted personal stories, infused with clever wordplay, sly social observation, 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.

When I heard about emotional intelligence, I thought it wasn't real. It sounds like someone who isn’t booksmart or street smart felt left out..."

Quick Reviews

ART MURMERS / 2019
"It is this ability to imbue empathy in his audience where Green shines brightest. Around me I notice couples and friends nudging each other and giving knowing looks and smiles as Green tells us anecdotes from his relationship. It is a wonderful feeling of kinship and Green’s tales become about all of us. It is rather incredible and highlights those little things in life most often considered banal, like your partner grinning at you from across the room, that are actually special and relied upon to get you through a hard day."
THE SPEAKEASY / 2019
"From the get go, Green is at ease with the audience, his performance assured. His jokes border on grim at times, splitting the audience, but I’m a fan of dark humour so they were some of my favourite jokes. Green likes to push the envelope, pushing boundaries, marrying important moments with the profane in a manner that somehow works. "
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."
