Brandyn Neto is a Pickering comedian who had his start by going to open mic nights. He quickly fell in love with the craft and began to perfect his absurdist and deadpan style. Whether reminiscing about the quirky white lies his mom told him growing up or performing at his favourite spot, Key’s Comedy Club, where he first stepped on stage, this comedian’s relatable and imaginative approach keeps audiences entertained. He’s in the works of putting on his very first solo show later this year.
