Ben Kochan - Stand Up

Comedy Up Late - 2022

MICF Hits & Giggles 2019

Ben Kochan is a stand-up comedian with a keen observational eye and an unhealthy commitment to being as silly as possible.

With his sharp writing and phenomenal moustache, Ben promises audiences a preposterous number of jokes per minute that whiplashes audiences and leaves them in stitches.

Since being selected as one of the best new comics in Australia through the Melbourne Comedy Festival Comedy Zone show, Ben has performed numerous side-splitting shows around Australia and supported the likes of Dave Hughes, Tom Gleeson & Wil Anderson.

His comedy album and stand up clips have found him fans across the world, and has written on numerous TV shows including Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee & Question Everything on the ABC and The Hundred with Andy Lee on Channel Nine.
