BEN SEARLE

Comedian

Actor

Ben has spent more than a decade making audiences laugh with his cheeky observations and story-driven comedy. He has written and performed two solo hours, Hammerhead (2023) and Punk Music (2025), across Australia and the UK, selling out shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and performing at the legendary Edinburgh Fringe.

A regular on stages at Comedy Republic and Basement Comedy in Melbourne, The Comedy Store in Sydney, and Good Chat Comedy in Brisbane, Ben has built a reputation as a seasoned performer with the energy of a rising star. His latest show, Punk Music, dives into the world of punk rock and hardcore culture, a hilarious mix of stage dives gone wrong, late-night festival stories, and the awkward truths of trying too hard to be cool. At its heart, Ben’s comedy is feel-good, cheeky, and endlessly relatable, turning personal misadventures into stories audiences can’t help but connect with.

Beyond stand-up, Ben is the co-host of Oblivious Maximus, a cult podcast with longtime friend Aaron Osborne. Focused on punk, hardcore, and metal, the show blends irreverent banter with in-depth conversations featuring guests from music, comedy, and the arts.

Whether on stage or behind the mic, Ben brings a warm, mischievous edge to his comedy, the kind that leaves audiences laughing, nodding, and maybe even reminiscing about that one time Blink-182 changed their life.
