Brett Blake is one of Australia’s most fearless and compelling stand-up comedians — a raw, high-energy performer whose comedy is shaped by real life, hard-earned perspective, and an unmistakable voice. Known for his honesty, intensity, and sharp punchlines, Brett has carved out a reputation as a comedian who doesn’t just entertain, but truly connects. His work is bold without being reckless, personal without being self-indulgent, and always delivered with absolute conviction.
Brett’s journey into comedy is as remarkable as his material. At just 16 years old, he faced the very real possibility of a 10-year jail sentence, an experience that profoundly shaped his worldview and later became a powerful foundation for his stand-up. Rather than shying away from his past, Brett uses it to fuel comedy that is brutally honest, deeply human, and unexpectedly uplifting.
Today, Brett Blake is a respected festival favourite, touring comic, podcaster, and media personality whose work resonates with audiences across Australia and internationally.

He has a rare ability to turn difficult life experiences into comedy that is both hilarious and meaningful.
On stage, Brett is direct, animated, and completely present. His performances feel immediate and alive, with material that hits hard but never feels forced. Audiences are drawn in by his authenticity — he speaks honestly, laughs at himself, and invites the crowd to come along for the ride.
This distinctive approach has made Brett a standout performer at comedy festivals, live events, and major brand campaigns.
