Was surprised there wasn't already a thread for Ben, but since I couldn't find one...

Ben's a good friend of mine, and he was the first person I booked when handed a new gig to run because I knew he'd do a solid job. Ben opened it last night, and the audience where rough but Ben really went for it and dealt with the hecklers and the people chatting brilliantly.

I'm always happy to have Ben at my gigs, and would recommend others to book him too.

Love ben, he rips rough gigs. I booked him when he was a new act and the lovely venue we normally had was overrun by twats. He had them listening, laughing, and them buying him drinks within minutes.

Ben is a fantastic act .... he has about 3 different 20 min sets that are equally funny .... he takes the audience on a great comedy journey .... i couldn't recomend him enough ...

Book him as he is heading in the right direction fast ....

Ben is a great talent, a genuine fella, who has you believing every word no matter how unlikely it is!

Witty, Quick and sharp, Ben is a comedian on the rise, book him now, while he's cheap

I think that's one of my favourite things about Ben -- his ability to bring acts on at the right time.

Ben is one of my favourite acts to gig with, both on and off stage.

He commands the room, his material is properly funny and he is very likeable.

He also has some of the funniest putdowns I have ever heard.
