A wonderful take on measuring the changes in one's young life. Discovering a world previously unknown to you and being ready, willing and able to embrace the good and forget (or deal with) the shitty. Loved it....

Brendan's show is a perfect encapsulation if Brendan as a person: warm, vulnerable, unpredictable, and life affirming. Brendan is a rare performer who you feel that you see his soul deeply when you watch him, and who shows you that with courage and positivity....

Smart - LOL funny - Gezellig!!!!!
Brendan Hunt is national treasure - a coming of age story of finding ones self in five very formative years in Amsterdam. Drop dead funny - no surprise there - but this show supplied a lot of deep belly laughs that had a full house roaring. Hunt an engaging performer does not disappoint. SEE THIS SHOW!...

Like many who came to see Brendan, I am a fan of Ted Lasso, particularly Coach Beard. It was exciting seeing him live, and it was a lot of fun to learn how similar Beard is to Brendan.

I was curious what it would be like to see one of my favorite actors ever NOT playing a role in this, his autobiographical solo show… Would I feel deprived of his unpredictable characterizations? Would I be distracted by a *certain* TV show’s cultural impact? Worse yet, would I find myself comparing him to the endlessly entertaining fictional incarnations he’s brought to life in the past, and feel maybe…disappointed?
The answer: No no and feck no.
What I received was a thrill ride so hilarious and uncensored that I got a dyed-in-the-wool comedian’s backstage pass to what was essentially a rock show of Europe’s most titillating Mecca of Excess. His tale is one of mad youth, budding local fame, discovery of craft, love and lust…oh yes, ...

This was a joyous romp through Brendan's journey in Amsterdam and I loved every second of it! Frankly, I'm shocked I got a ticket last minute and I bet this show will be sold out ASAP....
