Ben Hurley's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | WINNER FRED DAGG AWARD (NZ Comedian of the year) 2008,
WINNER BILLY T AWARD (For outstanding comedic potential) 2004
"One of the most exciting acts on the UK comedy circuit...and he’s a Kiwi!" InLondon Magazine
"Comedic legend" NZ Herald
"Pure entertainment" Metro
"expect the best and you won’t be disappointed" Viewauckland.com
"it’s easy to see why he’s been given that ’one to watch’ tag" The Dominion Post NZ
"Hurley’s self depricating story telling goes down a treat" UK NZ News | | Influences | Influences have change the longer I have done stand-up. Billy Connolly and Jerry Seinfeld made me want to be a comedian when I was a kid. In latter years, Andy Parsons, Jeremy Elwood, Brendhan Lovegrove, Rhys Darby and Mike Wilmot as comic influences and also Jon Toogood, The Beastie Boys and Eddie Vedder as masters of stirring up an audience. | | TV Shows | Comedy Store TV 2006, 3 New Zealand Comedy Festival TV Galas, 2 Series of Pulp Comedy, A pilot called "Loose As" for TVNZ and various walk on rolls as either "The Bogan" or "The Big Funny Guy". My Range is tremendous... | | Films | Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Return of the King in many different extra roles. This is only impressive to people who live outside of New Zealand. I once was going to be featured in a shot, taking a tankard of beer out of Borimir's hand's so he could embrace his brother (Farimir) but after 3 takes Peter Jackson decided it looked stupid and replaced me with a Barrel. |

Ben Hurley's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm a Stand Up Comic. I live in London but I'm a Kiwi.
I like awesome times and choice stuff. I dislike people who are Dicks. You don't know who you are but we all do.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Homer Simpson- Not the writers or Dan Castellaneta but the actual guy, like that episode where he eats the crazy hot Chilli and goes into 3D world. Once I met the guy who invented HELL's Pizza in Wellington and all I could think to say was "I love your work" to which He replied "Thanks, remember...Sauce, vegetables, meat, cheese. In that order". I like to think I apply that advice to all aspects of my life.
