Brett Leake is a dynamic performer of observational material. His lively desire to learn and to know lead him from the kitchen to the car to the classroom to the stage.
Behind a persona that is appears sometimes confused, sometimes frustrated, Brett wonders about the little things – the automobile battery light, people who draw a line through the number seven, light bulbs that burn out an instant after being turned on. Not content at identifying ironies, Brett offers solutions to problems – such as figuring out how much to tip, operating a hotel shower and getting around the "i" before "e" rule.
He spends practically his entire routine examining everyday difficulties and does it with humor. He also explains what it's like to be disabled. Brett has a type of muscular dystrophy – a crippling disease. But he does not let the disease prevent him from working the road 275 shows per year, 45 minutes per show. His fans are appreciative!

What Others Say About ...
Brett Leake
Jerry Seinfeld:
On "Entertainment Tonight"
"He's funny. There's a great common denominator in the comedy industry: funny is funny and that's it."
Tampa Tribune:
"He's one of the few stand-up comics who doesn't rely on dirty material for laughs. In fact, this guy's routine is so clean, he even jokes about soap. It's the intelligent approach to comedy that Leake loves, and his clever word play is a treat in itself. It's all so simple – but so devastatingly funny. One of America's Top Comics."
Michael Dunn
Orange County Register:
Los Angeles
"Leake's own intelligence comes across in his ability to establish a through-line in his observations about less than controversial topics, such as cheese and mathematics. As with Seinfeld, the weight of what he does isn't in the subject, but the process applied to it."
Jeff Rubio
The Washington Post:
"Brett Leake is one of the region's most impressive comedians. ...they're wondering where a brain like his comes from. Pungent, wickedly intelligent and dangerously in command."
Eve Zibart
Jim Davis:
cartoonist, creator of "Garfield"
"Brett, just a note to thank you again for your performance at our Christmas party. We deal in humor everyday here at Paws. We're jaded...and you laid us out! I've never heard the staff laugh so hard!
Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Looking forward to your next visit."
U.S. Department of Labor:
"Your routine was tasteful, light hearted, timed perfectly and certainly the highlight of the ceremony. The following is feedback received from a few of our employees ---
"Brett Leake is a riot!! My makeup was completely destroyed. Tears stream down my face when I laugh and he had me rolling!!"
"Applause, applause, applause!"
"The program was absolutely terrific."
"....wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the program, especially the comedian. Next time maybe he should stay longer."
Again, thank you so much for participating in the Department's program and making it the success it was. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope you will be available for an encore performance."
Katherine A. Hoover, NDEA Month Committee Chair
Spectrum Management Services, Inc.:
Training - Consulting - Project Management
"You came highly recommended. There is nothing funny about being disabled, but you were able to represent that segment of our diverse community. Your show was hilarious and you did an outstanding job of personalizing it to the audience and the theme of the conference.
There was a very diverse group of people there and you managed to entertain all of them! It has been such a pleasure working with you and I can't wait until I have the opportunity to call on you again. Best wishes for continued success."
Susan L. Hensley, President
