One of the best improvisers on the stand-up circuit grapples with the overwhelming chaos of the world. Sometimes there’s just too much stuff to process. Join Ben as he does the comedy equivalent of reading an encyclopedia cover to cover and 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)
Show starts at 9:30 p.m.
Duration: 60 mins
