BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
New York-born Owen Benjamin got his start in entertainment during college, where he was involved with a student-run TV station. By the mid-'00s he was acting in films, including roles in 2007's I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and 2008's The House Bunny. He scored a breakthrough in 2009 when he co-starred in the feature film All's Faire in Love alongside Christina Ricci. Since then he's made regular appearances on a variety of TV shows including Punk'd, Sullivan and Son, and Bar Rescue. He's appeared on The Jay Leno Show twice, where he displayed his musical comedy talents by performing parody jingles for local Burbank businesses. In addition to his film and TV roles Benjamin is a fixture on the stand-up comedy circuit, performing regularly at venues across the country and producing a weekly show at The Improv comedy club in Hollywood.
If there was a wise old man at the top of a mountain that would give wisdom within humorous rants and jokes, Owen Benjamin would be the wisest! Despite differences in religious beliefs, i could listen to him for the rest of my life both for humor and guidance. I will stand by and soil myself to his comedy and world view to the edges of Midgard and off into Ginnungagap!
One of the few left out there that haven't sold out. It's a shame comedy clubs won't let him perform because he's hilarious. Venues need to recognize comedy and stick up for the comedian. Take a stand for once. A couple phone calls from SJW's that have there feelings hurt by a comedians words and comedy venues bend the knee. Wake up people, it's obvious and it's not furthering comedy in any way by censoring comedians.
Walked out halfway through the show because of boredom. Luckily I got the tickets for free, but I still feel ripped off after wasting my time.
I'm a big fan of stand-up, and have been to countless shows. Owen is a rarity. His thoughtful humor and piano skills make for an unforgettable experience. I've seen him twice so far, and he has become one of my favorite comedians.
We loved the show. He stayed on stage for almost 2 hours and he was having as much fun as the crowd! It is a 21 and over show however; it probably should be warned to some people that it is a very R rated show!
Hilarious show with some really funny crowd involvement. Would definitely see again.
3 comics; each progressively better and funnier. Owen was hilarious and a true delight; he interacted with the audience in a phenomenal way....strayed from his routine and re-entered with ease. Everyone was hooked on what he had to say. He handled an unexpected heckler sensationally; wasn't sure if it was scripted or not. Even a few uncomfortable moments he made entertaining.
Opener feature comedian was not great. He didn't really get the audience engaged. Not all jokes seemed appropriate for the type of audience dynamic that was there.
Sam marrel was really funny. Owen made me and my husband cry and not breathe. He's a geniuos!
