Since first taking to the stage in 1991, Brendan has
performed stand-up to audiences all over Ireland and Britain, in Europe,
as well as Canada, the USA, Asia, Africa, and across Australia. The
only continents he has not played are Antarctica and South America.
Cold, inhospitable - uninhabited in parts, and suffering terrible
