Ben Asher, a writer and comedian from New York, is known for his “brave,” confrontational material, and his skills as a “brilliant joke writer” among fellow comedians. He performs regularly at comedy venues and colleges throughout the metropolitan area, East Coast, and Europe. Audiences are always quick to share their appreciation of Ben’s style of sardonic irreverence and absurd, satiric wit in which he doesn’t just dissect language and taboos - he explodes them. “What Ben Asher says makes me laugh, even though I feel like I shouldn’t."
In 2022 Ben recorded a half-hour special "An Intimate Evening of Provocative and Deranged Humor" at The Nest rock club, in Brooklyn, NY. In 2024, Ben recently opened for Greg Fitzsimmons and Nick Griffin. Also, in 2023 and 2022, Ben's show Arthur Avenue Comedy was <a href="https://nycomedyfestival.com/lineup/arthur-avenue-comedy-with-ben-asher/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">featured in the NY Comedy Festival</a> as <a href="https://bronx.news12.com/nyc-comedy-festival-comes-to-the-bronx-for-first-time" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">one of only two</a> comedy shows <a href="https://www.bxtimes.com/a-bronx-first-after-18-years-the-new-york-comedy-festival-comes-to-the-borough/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">in Bronx</a>. In 2014, Ben traveled to Iceland to headline in the Iceland Comedy Festival. He has appeared in the Chosen Comedy Festival, Borscht Belt Comedy Festival and Ben was also the finalist in the 2014 Funniest Jewish Comedian Competition. Ben Asher is a sought after Jewish comedian who frequently performs for Synagogues and on Jewish comedy shows and he recently headlined a Jewish comedy show for the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York and Temple Israel in Albany, NY.
