Ben MillerProfessional company

An eating disorder, a weird little caved-in chest, an orchiopexy, this boy has it all! 'Gangly' (Scotsman). 'Visibly unwell' (Kate Copstik). Step right up, step right up and see this medical marvel live on stage in this hour that’s deeply personal and darkly hilarious. This one-man cabinet of curiosities will bear his heart and de-liver the jokes with gut-busting punchlines. Ben Miller is an NYC-based scientist turned comedian who has been performing for the past 10 years. He tours 50+ cities annually.
