Some people are life's heroes: leading men and women full of swash, buckle and daring-do. Others just hold their jackets. As the credits roll and the heroes hump, join Ben off-camera as he salutes the Barney Rubbles, Boo-Boos and Dr Watsons of the world. 'Sharp and crafty gagsmith' (Chortle.co.uk). 'He displays a crackling, spontaneous energy in which we're swept up' (Fest). 'One of the highest jokes-per-hour counts in Edinburgh this month' ***** (TheReviewsHub.com). Top 50 Jokes of the Fringe 2016 (Scotsman, Huffington Post, iNews.co.uk).
