Ben was born in 1977 and, at time of writing, was still not dead. He burst onto the improv scene at intermediate school and then burst off it again at the end of high school, neglecting to do any bursting at all for a while he acquired a number of degrees and an intimidating level of student debt. In 2009 he remembered he really liked improv and clawed his way into the Jesters on the back of a good score in the general knowledge questionnaire, and has proved stubbornly difficult to dislodge ever since. He has appeared in A VERY MERRY SCRIPTLESS and THE RECEPTION with The Jesters and is a regular MC and performer in SCARED SCRIPTLESS, where he desperately tries to resist his urge to make every scene about the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.
