Maximum Benefit

"This pair of talented improvisers have an easy, likeable charm about them which adds some immersive depth to this quick-fire, long-form improv show.10/10, would watch again." - The Wellingtonista

Maximum Benefit is a fully improvised comedy duo show by two best pals.

Join Max Porozny and Ben Jardine as they take their guests on a hilarious and magical improvised journey together. Beginning with a suggestion from the audience, the duo weave together a story with laughs and heartfelt moments through characters and worlds they make up on the spot. The joy of improv means that audiences discover these characters and plots in real-time with the performers. Each and every show is entirely different from the last.

Maximum Benefit won Late Night Knife Fight (October 2020) and then went on to headline LNKF #36: Maximum Benefit.
