Copy event details

One of the best improvisers on the stand-up circuit tries to make sense of the chaos of the world. Join Ben as he squeezes the comedy juice out of everything under the sun, from hunter-gatherers to AI, XL bullies to boardgames and beyond. It'll be a bit like watching Wikipedia having a nervous breakdown. For fans of Ross Noble, Jason Byrne and heroic nonsense. “An accomplished comic.” Time Out “Perfect... the audience were hysterical.” Huffington Post

Amusing and dealt with the occasional audience interruption. A good show overall

Matt R reviewed Mad Ron: Crime School which happened on 8:45pm on Sat 18th Jun 2022.

Entertaining, but not rib-tickling. He wasn't always convincing in being the character he was playing.
