Winner Directors' Choice Award 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival 
2022 Moosehead Recipient
Nominee Golden Gibbo Award 2015 Melbourne International Comedy Festival 
Nominee Best Comedy Award 2017 Perth FRINGE WORLD

As seen on Thank God You're Here, Aunty Donna's House Of Fun (Netflix) and The Let Down.

After years of struggling with addiction Ben uses his new-found sobriety as a jump off point to explore his past, his clear-headed present and ask “what’s next?”

An encore performance of Ben's award-winning hour of stripped-back and revealing stand-up. A hilarious, raw and honest account of how Ben navigated the most transformative year of his life.

'Rarely is the serious and the silly blended so effortlessly as his telling of this story.' ★★★★ Chortle (UK)  

'Thrillingly witty, filled with laser-sharp one-liners… it's also endearingly hopeful.' ★★★★★ The Funny Tonne  

'Unlike anything even the most seasoned festival-goer will have seen before.' ★★★★ The Age

Co-written and directed by Maggie Looke.
