Brett Leake - Stand-up Comedian
Brett Leake has been a stand-up comic for sixteen years. He is an engaging
performer of observational material and gives himself completely to topics
ranging from sweet potato pie to pi (3.14159). Brett's lively desire to learn
and to know leads him from the kitchen to the car to the classroom.
Behind a persona sometimes confused, sometimes frustrated, Brett wonders
about the little things: junk mail on recycled paper, the expiration date on
bottled water, and light bulbs that burn out an instant after being turned on.
Not content at merely identifying ironies, Brett offers solutions to such
vexing problems as figuring out how much to tip, operating a hotel shower, and
getting around the I before E rule. True to his nature, Brett eventually finds
a positive spin to whatever is troubling him—whether it's getting a C in Latin
or waking up tired.
Brett spends practically his whole routine examining everyday difficulties.
He also explains what it's like to be disabled. Brett has a type of muscular
dystrophy, a disease that does not prevent him from working on the road 225
shows a year.
Brett has appeared numerous times on The Tonight Show with both Jay Leno
and Johnny Carson. He has also been featured on Entertainment Tonight, and has
worked with Jerry Seinfeld, Don Rickles, Jay Leno, The Smothers Brothers, and
Jerry Lewis.
