Comedian Profile

Dan Brader is an NZ born comedy veteran who’s developed a unique and controversial place in the Kiwi/Aus comedy landscapes as a one of a kind performer known for his brutally scathing gags and raw, confessional, eyebrow raising storytelling. He began his career in Australia in 2007 and has performed through VIC, NSW, & WA and his home country of NZ in comedy clubs, festivals, open mic venues etc. If there’s a stage he’s probably performed on it. He's also done several solo tours of NZ. Brader is a fiercely independent and cerebral voice in the NZ/Aussie comedy landscape with a style that combines brutally funny observational and topical material, free wheeling, wildly raw storytelling, lacerating self deprecation, and moments of inspired off-the-cuff improvisation that can go anywhere, so much so they even take him by surprise. "Brader is a comic you will love or hate, but he's never dull."--New Zealand Theatre Review. "Brader's unique comedic style set him apart."--The Southland Times "In a comedy world that can be a bit ‘same-y’, Dan Brader dares to be different"--ARTSHUB "Known for his morally-questionable storytelling, Dan has a way of making your own wild stories seem tame by comparison"-- Busselton Mail "He walks his own line and drags the laughs out of it with a sharp shake."--Gagging For It
