Often compared to Lewis Black or Bill Hicks due to his passionate, ranting approach, Roy has a style that is definitively his own. Roy cut his comedic teeth in Denver at the world famous Comedy Works. Since then, Ben has been selected to perform at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs Toronto, Just for Laughs Chicago, The New York Comedy Festival, Austin’s South by Southwest festival, and many more. Roy has been featured on HBO’s Funny as Hell series; as well as on the Comedy Central show Adam DeVine’s House Party, Corporate, @Midnight, This Is Not Happening, and TruTV’s Talk Show The Game Show . Ben has also released five stand-up comedy albums, and was listed as one of Variety’s Top 10 Comics to Watch. In 2023 his first streaming stand up special, “HYENA” was released on YouTube by 800lb Gorilla Media. That same year NPR listed “HYENA” as one of their Top Specials of 2023. From that success, “HYENA” was licensed by HULU and began streaming on their platform in July of 2024. Along with fellow Denver Comedians Adam Cayton-Holland and Andrew Orvedahl (who collectively perform as The Grawlix), Ben also created, wrote, and starred in the orginal comedy series Those Who Can’t that ran for three seasons on TruTV and HBO Max. He’s also currently the host of two podcasts. In addition to stand-up comedy acting, and writing, Roy is a prolific musician and the current lead singer of the pop punk outfit SPELLS, signed to indie label Snappy Little Numbers Records.
