Finalist in the 2007 So You Think You're Funny? new act competition; and placed second in 2008's City Life North-West Comedian Of The Year competition

Original Review:

Such low-energy approach can give the false impression that he isn't firing on all cylinders, but, it actually shows a quiet confidence in his distinctive, if still-developing material.

It takes a while to adjust to his pace, but ultimately it’s very beguiling. The set is not always hilarious, but there is a neatness, originality and maturity to his sophisticated writing, rich with esoteric references which takes his routine in genuinely unexpected directions. ‘Classy’ would about cover it.

I can't believe there's no comments from anyone on Ben Davis. He's a fine young newcomer with some very witty lines - like the review says, not always hilarious, but it really doesn't matter. There's an inventive, rather different, side to Ben than I have rarely seen in any other newcomer over recent years. It's indescribable. He has such great confidence which also helps to sell the material, while at the same time permitting the audience to have trust in the direction he is going. And, believe you me, he goes in some unexpected directions.
