What’s Ben’s take on the world, now?

Following the huge success of Ben Elton’s critically acclaimed sold-out Australian tour in 2021, Ben Elton is heading to Australia to tour his brand-new live show – Authentically Stupid!

Ben is currently in the middle of a hundred date tour in the UK – however, he found time to chat to Christian.

Christian and Ben chat the difference in touring now, the current state of stand-up comedy, and if he is optimistic for the future.
