About Ben Creed

A thirty year veteran of the road, Ben Creed began performing at comedy clubs in Los Angeles at the ripe age of sixteen. Ben performed his stand-up at The Comedy Store, The Laff Stop, and countless horrible one nighters and around the Los Angeles area. Turning down a drama scholarship to Pepperdine, Ben opted instead for the rewarding life as a traveling road comic, starvation, eviction, disconnection, collection. After three years of hammering out sets to late night drunks from Loserton to Obscurityville, he hocked everything he owned and pooled the money with what he had earned on the road, took that eighteen dollars and headed out to New York City. The grim meat hook reality of New York helped to sharpen Ben’s comedic edge and hone his sarcastic wit, (and we all know how painful it is to be honed.)

He quickly became a fixture in the city clubs such as Dangerfield's, where he became the house comic for the next sixteen years sometimes performing up to five shows a night for the ’Blood & Whisky’ crowds who, having sat through two hours of hack impressionists, poop jokes, and ’The Hands Bit’ found Ben’s original material and unique stage presence a welcome relief.
