Brendan Hunt, along with fellow Boom alums Jason Sudeikis and Joe Kelly, created Ted Lasso, one of the best shows on television in 2020 and the first true hit on AppleTV+. Season two premieres during the festival on July 23 and season three has already been commissioned. The three hatched the idea for the character (and taught Jason about football) during their stint in Boom Chicago in 2000. Get a chance to ask those burning questions! From 1998 to 2008, Brendan was one of Boom Chicago’s most recognizable and intense actor-writer-improvisers. In addition, he starred in Boom’s satirical news program Comedy Central News (CCN). In addition to starring in many of Boom Chicago’s main Edinburgh Fringe shows, Brendan also co-wrote and co-starred in a pair of two-man shows: Iconic Yanks with Seth Meyers and Here Comes the Neighborhood with Jordan Peele. Brendan appeared as an occasional performer on Key & Peele and was nominated for an Emmy for his writing on the Key & Peele Super Bowl Special. He also appeared in We’re the Millers and Horrible Bosses 2 as well as in the video game Fallout 4.
