Comedian and former Neighbours lighting technician Brett Blake joins Bin Night and brings absolute chaos with him. From his early days behind the scenes on Ramsay Street to life as a professional stand-up comedian, Brett shares the moments that shaped him — including a few that nearly finished him.

What we get into

• His time working as a lighting technician on Neighbours and why he reckons he spent most of it on the toilet
• Making the jump from behind the scenes into stand-up comedy and life in front of the camera
• Tales from the Neighbours set and working with Tak, Matty and the wider team
• The trials and tribulations of being a professional stand-up comedian and how he handles people leaving mid-show
• How being arrested when he was younger changed the course of his life and pushed him to turn things around
• Living with dyslexia and the unique way he learns lines for roles in The Twelve and The Tourist
• Why being part of Taskmaster was one of the best experiences of his life despite never watching it beforehand
• Being attacked by a shark while working as an underwater camera operator and other times he’s nearly died on set
• His time working at the airport and the wild story about what happens if horses freak out mid-flight
