Ben brings his Fringe-hit stand-up show to Soho. And this time, it's surgical.
‘A total delight.’
★★★★ Fest

Last year, Ben got circumcised. On purpose, and as recommended by medical professionals.

This show is a 55min inventory of his ensuing masculine panic. Expect jokes and stories on: the male ego, pillow talk, charity shops, the sublime mystery of having a father, and also exactly one pig. See you there. Chop chop.

Writer for The News Quiz and DMs Are Open (BBC Radio 4). As seen on Dave’s Comedy Guide to Life and Comedy Central’s Achievement Unlocked. Tour support for Nick Mohammed, Kieran Hodgson and Max & Ivan.
