In 2002 Brett Blake was charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and assaulting a public officer. Is he guilty? You be the judge.

He was 16 years old and facing a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.

What happened next surprised him, his parents, his lawyers, the neighbours and even the judge.

This is a story of the importance of second chances, the hypocritical expectations we have of young people, and how your number one enemy might just end up being your biggest champion.

Only Brett can manage to make a story of police brutality, learning disabilities, questionable 90’s parenting and growing up in a shit suburb “funny”.

Seen on 2024 Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, Question Everything, Spicks and Specks and co-host of Work Hates Podcast.
