Brett Shaffer, creator and comedian

Make them
look twice.

Character comedy and live shows for schools, events, and people who like their stories a little unexpected.

Meet Brett, his alter ego, Brent, and the perspective behind videos about Deaf culture and the tech we use every day.

Different stories.
Same voice.

I post whatever’s on my mind, but most of it lands in one of these three. Keep scrolling to flip through them.

Comedy

Brett vs. Brent

Two characters, one creator, and a lot of familiar everyday friction.

Deaf culture

Culture in frame

What everyday life looks like from the Deaf side. Spoiler: it’s funnier than you think.

Tech & products

Real-world tests

Hands-on tests of new tech, gadgets, and everyday finds. Honest reactions, no sugarcoating.

Meet the person behind the characters

Hi, I’m Brett.

I’m a Deaf creator and comedian who turns everyday moments into videos and live shows that make people laugh, think, and share. Mostly laugh. Thinking is optional.

By day, I’m a software engineer, which means I fix bugs for a living and create them for fun. Hand me any gadget, app, or card game and I’ll test it and tell you the truth.

Then there’s Brent. I didn’t invite him. He shows up anyway.

Based near Rochester, New York. Available for creator collaborations, appearances, and events.
