Ben Davids

Details

Since starting stand-up in 2007, Ben Davids has gone on to establish himself as a solid and funny act with his original and silly gags and one-liners.

He regularly does 20 minute sets for promoters like Mirth Control, Comedy Central, Bottle Rocket and Buzz Comedy amongst many others. He was also chosen to take part in the prestigious Big Value Comedy Showcase for Just the Tonic at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe and was selected to be a warm up act at the Rock With Laughter show at the LG Arena where he performed in front of 20,000 people over two nights.
As well as stand-up he has written for commercial radio stations and has also had material used on BBC Radio 7’s Newsjack.
