About Ben

Ben is something of an all rounder. He’s one of WA’s top standup comedians as well as an experienced improviser, a gifted MC and a first-rate comedic character actor. As a standup comedian he has an easy, warm charm and a quick wit with audiences.
As an improviser Ben works regularly with The Big HOO-HAA, WA’s top live improvised comedy show as well as the popular Free Love Impro and the new improvisation show with puppets, Fuppets.

As a comedy performance character actor, Ben is responsible for developing the hysterical & enigmatic Diggy Bones (See the Diggy Bones profile) as well as the character Darren Spandau which can be seen in the up coming show Cabahooray! for 2010 Wild West Comedy Festival.
