By March 31, 2010No Comments

Ben Darsow is one of Australia’s most exciting nationally touring standup comedians and was recently a shortlisted nominee for Adelaide Comedian of the Year 2009.

He has featured alongside Australian greats Dave Hughes, Wil Anderson, Tom Gleeson and Justin Hamilton; internationals Arj Barker, Eddie Ifft and Jo Koy; and at such iconic venues as Melbourne’s Comics’ Lounge and Last Laugh Comedy Club, Sydney’s Comedy Store and Laugh Garage, Brisbane’s Sit Down Comedy Club, Perth’s Comedy Lounge and Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre.

Ben’s comedy is fresh, intelligent and well written and his sharp audience interaction and self effacing nature make him instantly likeable and very versatile.

He has presented over 30 minutes of original material on national television including two appearances on the Comedy Channel’s Standup Australia.

He has also sold out solo shows in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (2009) and Adelaide Fringe Festival (2008, 2006).

Earlier in his career, Ben registered outstanding success in several searches for emerging talent. He won the South Australian final and reached the national final of Triple J’s Raw Comedy (2004), reached the national final of FHM magazine’s Search for Australia’s Funniest Man (2005), and also won the South Australian final of Rove’s Search for Australia’s Funniest Undiscovered Comedian (2007).

Ben is a positive minded person who leads a very active and balanced life. He has played several years of elite level basketball (Woodville Warriors) and golf (Kooyonga Golf Club), completed a Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Corporate Finance and Marketing majors) and has recently purchased his first home in Plympton, Adelaide.

His star is rising and he is very bookable as a feature act or MC, or for any other role where quality humour is required.
