About this Event

The Glowing Stars Tour


The Glowing Stars Tour is an intimate, funny, and heartfelt live show blending original music, storytelling, and comedy.

Across songs and stories, Ben weaves together childhood memories, late-night overthinking, love, longing, grief, and big dreams that never quite went away. The show moves between laugh-out-loud musical comedy moments and quieter, reflective songs that feel like staring at the glowing stars on ceiling at 2am, thinking about who you were, who you are, and who you are still becoming.

Visually and emotionally inspired by glow in the dark stars, this spring tour is about connection across time. Childhood bedrooms. Adult lives. The people we’ve loved. The dreams we carried then, and still carry now.

Expect:

  • Original songs that are funny, honest, and deeply reflective
  • Storytelling that connects nostalgia, queerness, love, and growth
  • A cozy, emotionally resonant atmosphere with moments of big laughs and quiet reflection
  • A night that feels both playful and meaningful

This is a show for anyone who grew up dreaming big, anyone who has lost someone and kept going, and anyone who is still learning that change does not mean leaving yourself behind.


About Ben Hawes

Ben Hawes is a NYC-based musical comedian, songwriter, and creative storyteller whose work lives at the intersection of humor, vulnerability, and heart.

Through original songs and personal stories, Ben explores themes of love, identity, ambition, grief, and the strange beauty of growing up without ever fully growing out of yourself. His performances balance sharp comedic instincts with emotional honesty, creating shows that feel welcoming, reflective, and human.

Ben’s work is rooted in the belief that creativity can hold both joy and tenderness at the same time. Whether he’s singing about first crushes, late-night thoughts, or the quiet moments that shape us, his goal is simple. To help people laugh, feel seen, and leave feeling a little more connected to themselves.

The Glowing Stars Tour is his spring 2026 live show, inspired by childhood bedrooms, lifelong dreams, and the idea that the person you were once is still very much alive inside you.
