HOT TICKET ! Ben is performing a brand new solo show in the 2023 NZ International Comedy Festival. 

Star of hit TV3's '7 Days', currently a correspondent on TVOne's 'Seven Sharp', Ben Hurley is one of the success stories of New Zealand standup comedy. Winner of the two biggest comedy awards in New Zealand - The 2004 Oddfellows Billy T award and the 2008 Fred Dagg award, Hurley is a headline act in his native NZ but also on the highly competitive UK circuit. In 2008 he supported Irish superstar Ed Byrne on a 70 day sell out tour of the UK and Ireland.

With a massive but hugely likeable stage presence, Hurley can win over even the toughest room. A sharp improvisational mind and well honed original material make Hurley a popular act with audiences and critics alike.

One of the few Kiwi acts to be invited to perform on the prestigious Comedy Store TV show on the Paramount Comedy Channel. Also, one of the stars of the UK Festival Circuit playing to thousands in the comedy tents at Reading and Leeds Festival, Bestival and Latitude.
In 2008, Hurley starred along side British comic, Andy Parsons, in a new BBC Radio 4 Sit Com "The Lost Blog of Scrooby Trevithick".

One of New Zealand's best travelled comedians. Ben has wowed audiences in 10 countries including Switzerland, Dubai, Spain, Australia, Singapore and Bahrain.
