HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Brendon Walsh

  • Brendon Walsh

Though (probably) unintentional, Brendon Walsh’s career upswing can be measured in direct proportion to his growing a beard that rivals that of Zach Galifianakis. Perhaps that’s because having something to hide behind gives comedians a cuddly aura that allows them to say whatever the hell they want, whether it’s talking about masturbating with hand puppets or recounting the time they bummed out an entire town using only a fake “Shot In The Dark.” Whatever the reason, Walsh remains beloved in his former, adopted hometown of Austin—even if his permanent relocation to Los Angeles means the Texan capital city can no longer rightfully claim his acerbic comic mind as its own.
