Ben Van der Velde - Van der Laugh Generator
One-hour improvised stand-up show by Ben Van der Velde mixing absurdity and quickfire observations.
One of the best improvisers on the stand-up circuit grapples with being overwhelmed by the chaos of the world. Sometimes there's just too much stuff to process. Join Ben as he does the comedy equivalent of reading an encyclopedia cover to cover and squeezes the comedy juice out of everything under the sun, from genetics to tattoos, XL bullies to board games and beyond. It'll be a bit like watching Wikipedia having a nervous breakdown.
For fans of Ross Noble, Jason Byrne and heroic nonsense.
"Displays a crackling, spontaneous energy in which we're swept up." (Fest)
"An accomplished comic." (Time Out)
"Perfect... the audience were hysterical." (Huffington Post)
