Ben Hurley : The Cabana 50

Ben Hurley is a stand up comedian from New Zealand. Hurley started his comedy career in Wellington as resident host of The Wellington Comedy Club. After winning the Billy T Award he moved to London and worked on the comedy circuit there between 2005 and 2008.
Winner of all of the awards (NZICF Billy T Award, Fred Award, NZCG Best Male Comedian & Best MC), Ben has been smashing comedy out of the park since a long time ago.

Born in Taranaki, Ben cut his comedy chops in Wellington before making the move to London where he honed his craft to the fine tuned beast we now see.

As Head Writer for 7Days, Ben is also a regular panellist on the show and has appeared on numerous TV shows including The Project, the Comedy Gala and AotearoHA. He has hosted the New Zealand Music Awards, his own show alongside Steve Wrigley, World Famous with Ben & Steve and TV3’s stand up comedy show After Hours.
