Book now

One of the best improvisers on the stand-up circuit tries to make sense of the chaos of the world. Join Ben as he squeezes the comedy juice out of everything under the sun, from genetics to tattoos, XL bullies to board games and beyond. It'll be a bit like watching Wikipedia having a nervous breakdown.

For fans of Ross Noble, Jason Byrne and heroic nonsense.

"Displays a crackling, spontaneous energy in which we're swept up." (Fest)

"An accomplished comic." (Time Out)

"Perfect... the audience were hysterical." (Huffington Post)
