Brett Blake - Little Turd

Thursday 30 July 2025, 7pm & 8:30pm
Brett’s like an energizer bunny loaded up with relatable funny jokes, he can tear the roof off. I love him Mel Buttle
A perfect melding of laser focused storytelling and a gag rate so high, I’m frankly furious about it. Brett Blake is the best kind of trouble. Take your Mum Rhys Nicholson

Presented by Newcastle Comedy Festival

In 2002 Brett Blake was charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and assaulting a public officer. Is he guilty? You be the judge.

He was 16 years old and facing a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.

What happened next surprised him, his parents, his lawyers, the neighbours and even the judge.

This is a story of the importance of second chances, the hypocritical expectations we have of young people, and how your number one enemy might just end up being your biggest champion.

Only Brett can manage to make a story of police brutality, learning disabilities, questionable 90’s parenting and growing up in a shit suburb “funny”.

In 2025 Brett toured Little Turd to sold out crowds across Australia, smashed his Edinburgh Fringe run, and was nominated for best show at The Melbourne Comedy Festival.

This is your last chance to find out what everyone has been raving about! Do not miss out.

Brett has been seen on the 2024 Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, Question Everything, Spicks and Specks and is the co-host of Work Hates Podcast.
