TweetOne 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

She's tooooo funny and the crowd seems to gel well with her sense of humor which made her even funnier.

Venue was rubbish, the music was playing so loud upstairs you could not hear the gig very well! They either need to keep the volume down or don’t bother with it as a venue! Charlie was very good, and very interesting watching his work in progress. Such a shame I was the only audience member! And that is not a reflection in Charlie, probably just the venue!

She cancelled only 90 mins. before show time, when I would have assumed that she'd be en route to "sunny" Hastings. A disappointing let-down.
