Brett Leake ARTIST ID: 2344
Brett Leak has been a stand-up comic for sixteen years. An engaging performer of observational material and his interest easily aroused, he 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, light bulbs that burn out an instant after being turned on. Not content at 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 the E rule. True to his nature, Brett eventually finds a positive spin to whatever's troubling him whether it is getting a C in Latin or waking up tired.
Brett spends practially his entire routine examing everyday difficulties. He also explains what it is 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.
