Ben Frank is a New York-based stand-up comedian, who began his comedy career in Shanghai, China and regularly performs in both English and Mandarin.
He has played all around the world and headlined comedy clubs in more than 10 different countries, including China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
Ben was the Winner of the World Series of Comedy in New Orleans in 2023 and was named Best of the Fest at both the Burbank Comedy Festival and Four Corners Comedy Festival in 2022.
He released an hour-long comedy album “Goodbye Shanghai” in April 2022, and during his time in China, Ben became the first comedian to headline a stand-up show in Wuhan following the city’s harrowing 76-day lockdown from COVID-19.
This performance was the basis for his comedy special “Ben Frank: Live In Wuhan,” which was released on YouTube in September 2020.
Additionally, Ben has worked with countless major international stand-up acts on their tours through Asia, including Kyle Kinane, Kurt Metzger, Mark Normand, James Adomian, Joe Machi, and Brad Williams. Ben is currently a regular at New York Comedy Club.
