"A local Perth boy done good comes back to rub it in your face."

More Brendon Burns More Brendon Burns

A local Perth boy done good comes back to rub it in your face, comic Brendon Burns — in beanie, flanno and thong attire — reminisces warmly while simultaneously violently reacting to the Perth bogan heartland he left ten years ago.

With references to dead wombats, boob-filled car salesman ads (aka Naughty Don Rogers), and the scapegoat habit of Perthians to blame their problems on the city ("That's Perth for you"), Burns manages to get the locals to both celebrate and laugh at themselves. Like a wide-ranging forager, Burns then goes on to reference all sorts of hot social topics, bringing always his sharp insight, albeit disguised often as crudity.
