Biography

Brendan Hunt is an Emmy-nominated writer and playwright. Among his many TV credits, Brendan most recently recurred in the comedy "Bless this Mess" with Lake Bell and Dax Shepard; he has also appeared on "Community," "Parks and Recreation" and several episodes of "Key & Peele." In theater, Brendan has twice been nominated for LA Theater's Ovation Awards, winning one for Best Actor in a Musical.

A Chicago native and a veteran of sketch and improv comedy, Brendan's longest tenure with any group was with Amsterdam's notorious Boom Chicago, where he performed with Jason Sudeikis, Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Ike Barinholtz and Heather Anne Campbell. His solo show about that experience, "Five Years in Amsterdam," debuted at iO West in Los Angeles, and went on to be performed at UCB LA, UCB NY, Second City ETC, the Edinburgh Fringe and the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival.

While living in Amsterdam, Brendan became a massive fan of soccer, eventually writing a weekly soccer column for a Dutch commuter newspaper. This laid the groundwork for his successful Boom Chicago-produced vlog "The Unlikely Fan," which eventually led to a guest appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

Brendan's TV writing experience includes a stint as head writer for Comedy Central Netherlands' "Comedy Central News"; and as part of the team that wrote the Jack Antonoff mockumentary series "Thank you and Sorry". He also earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special for the "Key & Peele Super Bowl Special." His two plays, "Absolutely Filthy" and "The Art Couple," both had sold-out LA runs. The former is currently optioned to run Off-Broadway in 2020.
