Brendhan Lovegrove
Brendhan Lovegrove is arguably the most dangerously talented standup comedian in New Zealand. Brendhan’s television appearances include countless spots on New Zealand’s foremost standup show 'Pulp Comedy', the last series of which he hosted. In the UK he featured on 'Live at Jongleurs' in two television episodes. He also featured on Australian television in the Gala telecast as part of the Sydney Cracker Comedy Festival 2006.
Brendhan’s manic physical presence combined with a sureness of delivery and material that can, at once, be described as verging on the psychotic side of human nature, has delighted and, indeed, frightened audiences throughout New Zealand.
He returned to NZ in 2006 after living and working for three years in the United Kingdom, where he performed as the headline act (for the most part) in all the main comedy clubs including Jongleurs, The Comedy Store, The Glee Club and Up the Creek.
In 1998 Brendhan was the recipient of the Billy T Award for Comedy in New Zealand. After winning that prestigious award he travelled and performed at international comedy festivals throughout the world including Scotland, Canada and England. Brendhan returned home annually to contribute his own show for the New Zealand Laugh Festival and is now living back downunder.
In 2006 Brendhan was judged New Zealand's Best Stand-up Comedian at the Oddfellows NZ International Comedy Festival. Brendhan has also entertained audiences with a guest spot on Rove Live.
Brendhan was named Best Male Comedian in the 2009 and 2010 NZ Comedy Guild Awards – a huge honour reflecting his talent and contribution to the industry over the years.
Testimonials
Brendhan's presentation very much met our expectations - they loved it! He kept the flow going and entertained them.—Loren Taylor Events Creative
Brendhan was brilliant! The feedback I got was great; everyone I spoke to on the night said how much they enjoyed his material, he was awesome and people would find me to tell me how much they enjoyed him. One repeated comment on the night was "He's the best guest speaker we've ever had at our Christmas do." I'll definitely be recommending Brendhan to anyone and everyone.—McConnell Dowell Constructors
Brendhan was absolutely brilliant. After one of our guests became violently ill, he worked with us to take focus away from the area and continued his set as if nothing had happened. Not only that, he did another 15 minutes on top of what we’d asked of him to ensure that the remaining group had a proper laugh, which they certainly had. Thank you Brendhan.—ITM
