Want to be a lawyer? A reporter? How about a multi-millionaire mega-church pastor? Or the City of Atlanta? Ben Palmer says you can be any of these things….online.
Join Ben as he trolls his way through MLM schemes, Waffle House’s facebook page, court TV, Joel Osteen, and Elon Musk with his latest comedy special titled You Can Be Anything.
He continued to do stand-up comedy in Cleveland, Akron, and Kent, Ohio for three years and then moved to Atlanta, GA where he became a regular at the comedy clubs and underground shows. It was in Atlanta where he fused his two passions of humor writing and stand-up comedy into a live show.
At 30, Ben moved to Los Angeles to further pursue his career and work on his live show. He performed at Comedy Central Stage and became a regularly booked act at one of the biggest comedy festivals in the world, San Francisco Sketchfest.
The show features his trolling of hateful trolls on corporate Facebook pages, posing as a city government to air sarcastic gripes about bureaucracy, making up fake cases to get on court TV, and pretending to be a journalist to get reactions from billionaire CEO’s and unethical multilevel marketing companies.
In 2020, Ben’s TikTok videos began to gain popularity. In the following years, his videos on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram followed suit. Prior to gaining popularity from his videos, his work had been featured in countless news publications and online media outlets.
He tours comedy clubs, colleges, and other venues around the country.
