BRETT BLAKE – LITTLE TURD
Sat, May 16, 2026
- Sat, May 16, 2026
7:00 pm
- 8:00 pm
Rhino Room
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 .
Directed by Tom Ballard.
Nominee – Melbourne Comedy Festival Award 2025
Winner – Weekly Award, Adelaide Fringe 2025
“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

“Brett’s like an energizer bunny loaded up with relatable funny jokes, he can tear the roof off. I love him.” Mel Buttle

“ Blakey is also one of the sharpest minds in contemporary Australian comedy.” Wil Anderson

“Brett Blake brings the good stuff in spades night after night. Get at him now. You won’t regret it.” Dave Hughes
