Mission statement

Ben loves the art form of standup comedy and is simply interested in continuing to have fun performing, creating fresh accessible content and generating as much on-stage love as he can.

At the moment he does this around Australia - ultimately it his focus to have international relevance.

Standup

Ben is available to be booked to perform standup in a wide variety of environments, above and beyond his ‘base work’ around the club and festival scenes of Australia. .

These include corporate functions, christmas parties, sporting club presentation nights, hen’s and buck’s nights, fashion parades, association conferences, private parties, etc.

To enquire about availablilty or to seek a quote for a particular event and requirement, simply contact Ben by any of the means listed for a friendly and prompt response.

MC

Ben MC’s at almost every major comedy club within Australia and is developing a growing national reputation for the professionalism with which he engages and interacts with his audience, sets the stage for the featured acts and also gets the job done himself.

He is available purely in this capacity, or as a combination of MC and standup.

Packages for sports clubs and country towns

Ben also offers a package for sporting clubs and country towns in which he and a selection of other comedians can be booked specifically for a feature night of comedy. This package is discounted below Ben’s and the other comedians’ individual market rates, with the view in mind of allowing clubs to not only put on a high quality night of standup comedy but actually profit from it themselves also.

It has proved very popular with football, cricket, golf, netball and life saving clubs and also with country towns throughout South Australia, Northern Territory and Victoria .

To ask about how these nights are structured, view references from other clubs or arrange a lineup or package, just email or call Ben.

Endorsements

Ben is a positive, vibrant person and is open to associating with and endorsing the products of other people, labels and organisations who are motivated by similar values.

Ben’s yearly Adelaide Fringe show is proudly supported by the generosity of Sean and Kate Heylen from Deadline Media (http://www.deadline.net.au), a professional and friendly web development team located in Chesser Place in Adelaide’s CBD.

Ben also endorses Rivalry Urbanwear, a clothing store located in the Elizabeth City Shopping Centre and owned by the Zorich Group. Ben digs the clothes stocked there and often wears a jacket/ shirt/singlet/some threads from Rivalry on stage when he performs. More about the store can be found online at http://www.truelocal.com.au/business/rivalry-urbanwear/elizabeth

Ben grew up in the Adelaide comedy scene and really values the nurturing and encouragement that he received within it, especially in his early years as a standup, from people such as Justin Hamilton (http://www.justinhamilton.com.au), Lehmo (http://www.lehmo.com.au), Craig Egan, Mickey D (http://www.mickeydcomedy.com) and Frehd Southern Starr. Whilst most of his club work is now outside of South Australian borders, Ben loves his opportunities to perform back in the local rooms such as The Arkaba (Tuesdays), The Marion Hotel (Wednesdays) and the Rhino Room (Thursdays and Fridays). He fully endorses the efforts and end-product of Adelaide’s leading comedy promoter Craig Egan and encourages anyone after a laugh to check out http://www.adelaidecomedy.com and regularly get out to Craig’s comedy rooms, which he keeps fresh with rotating line ups of talented international, national and local comedians each week.

Comedic writing

At the essence of things, Ben is a comedic writer - he just ends up presenting most of what he writes by saying it on stage.

As such, he is available for comedic writing input in a wide range of environments. 

Anything else!

Ben will also consider any other role, straightforward or obscure, in which his particular brand of humour may add value - so just ask!
