Get ready for the comedy ride of your life as Ben spins stories, thrillers, self-help books, political intrigue and fairy tales out of thin air, his own mind + the audience in front of him.

Over the past few years, Ben has spread joy and nonsense to all four corners of the British Isles, as well as Greece, Estonia, Switzerland, Latvia, Finland and Norway. On top of that, he has taken commissions to perform a voodoo re-marriage ceremony, founded the Church of the Holy Kazoo with comedy legend Mark Thomas, walked the entire London Underground network and even took part in experiments at The Royal Society that revealed him to have the most infectious laugh of any human, rat or monkey. Join him for an evening of stuff, nonsense and magically riffed tomfoolery.
