Benny Boot

Australian comic Benny Boot has been performing comedy in the UK for 8 years. He is considered by many comedians as a wonderful comedian to watch. Benny was a finalist in NBC’s Last Comic Standing and was invited to the Vancouver Comedy Festival in 2005. He has performed in Edinburgh as part of the Just The Tonic Showcase (2006), for the Pleasance Comedy Reserve (2007) and debuted his first solo show this year, “Set Up, Punchline…Pause for Laughter” (2011).

Boot delivers his jokes in a unique style on variety of strange topics. His engaging persona & material keeps the laughter rolling through the entire show and is guaranteed to bring any audience undone.

“…he’s got a keen instinct for the joke, an imaginative turn of phrase and an ability to find an offbeat angle to whatever he chooses to talk about.” Chortle

“He may come from down under but we should be loath to let them have him back.” Guardian

Benny Boot (***** 3 Weeks) unleashes an arsenal of ‘consistently brilliant gags” (Guardian) in a unique style of quiet disdain; while paradoxically maintaining his engaging persona and coming across as a genuinely charming ‘likeable guy’ (Guardian).

Benny Boot has to be one of the most naturally funny people I have ever seen on stage He holds the audience in the palm of his hand without them realising and despite his seemingly sloppy amateurishness, it’s all a clever ruse: Boot possesses an incredible sharpness of wit.
