Why He's On The Site: Ben's performance
at The Patrice O'Neal Roast caught everyone by surprise, as
Bailey was without question the MVP of the night...I must admit,
the first time I witnessed Ben's act at the Cellar, I wasn't
impressed. Shortly after I caught another of Ben's performances
at the Cellar and he KILLED doing the same material...Ben has a
very unique delivery & style about him that takes time
getting used to. His material is brilliantly twisted and
delivered in a slow & plotting way...You haven't lived until
you've seen him perform his "Sable The Donkey"
routine...Ben lived up to his
performance at Patrice's roast for the Jim Norton Roast, by
impressing many Opie & Anthony fans with his brutal assault
on every one in attendance
Official Bio: Ben Bailey is a young
comedian on the rise. In the fall of 1992, Ben left his home in
Chatham, New Jersey and flew to Los Angeles with only forty
dollars and a backpack full of clothes. After looking for a job
for a few months with no success, Ben finally landed a job
answering phones at The Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard. Ben
got to telling stories one night in the green room and soon had
everybody laughing. That weekend he performed for the first time
and was immediately hooked. Excited about his newly found
calling, Ben returned home to pursue comedy full time in New
York City.
Five years later, Ben has become a regular
performer at all the big venues in Manhattan and travels around
the country performing in clubs and colleges. The regular clubs
you can see him in are Caroline's Comedy Club, Gotham
Comedy Club, The Comic Strip, The Comedy Cellar
and Boston Comedy Club. Ben has appeared live on "Jersey's
Talking with Lee Leonard". He has appeared in 2
separate Pizza Hut commercial and commercial for a
restaurant in Jersey. Ben dances, juggles and plays the guitar
but not on stage. Bailey uses sarcasm and wit to express his
thought about his own life, life in general and the state of the
world. You end up leaving his performance both laughing and
thinking.
