Ben Ashurst: The Worst Man

Ben Ashurst / Free Festival • Amateur Company

45 minutes•Nineties
Ben Ashurst is struggling to be an adult. Now in his thirties, he should be getting his act together, but it's hard when the world doesn’t make sense. What do you mean you can’t walk through a drive-thru?! Why on earth would someone choose him as their best man? In The Worst Man, Ben attempts to navigate adulthood, responsibility and the high-pressure "honour" of delivering a best man’s speech. Which should be easy... You’re a comedian, right? This warm, light-hearted stand-up comedy hilariously highlights the things in life Ben thinks should be simple... but aren't.
