Ben is a current resident MC for comedy nights at Social Refuge, Europe's biggest LGBTQ+ bookshop, and Contact Theatre. Ben produced and performed his work-in-progress stand-up show, It’s a Boy?, at the Edinburgh Fringe, which gained a lot of hype for his humorous approach to being trans in today’s society and sold out in venues across the UK.
Ben has also produced a gameshow, The Gender(ben)d Gameshow, which was commissioned by Trans Pride Manchester and performed at Contact Theatre. The show sold out in it's debut and explores the nuances of being trans* in today's society using a competition format with silly games and even sillier prizes
