BEN RUSSELL & FRIENDS (50 mins)

Presented by Ben Russell(Naarm/Melbourne) as part of the Brisbane Improv Festival 2026.

Are you an improviser? Student? Fan? Sat in the audience and thought "Yeah, I could do that"

Ben has been improvising for over 20 years. He's a Second City Chicago and iO Chicago alum and has his 10k hours clocked in. In all that time he's improvised with hundreds of people and never once had a bad time.

Throw your name in the hat to perform some two person improv with Ben. I promise it'll actually be fun.
