He performs regularly at comedy venues and colleges throughout the metropolitan area, East Coast, and Europe. Audiences are always quick to share their appreciation of Ben’s style of sardonic irreverence and absurd, satiric wit in which he doesn’t just dissect language and taboos - he explodes them. “What Ben Asher says makes me laugh, even though I feel like I shouldn’t." In 2022 Ben recorded a half-hour special "An Intimate Evening of Provocative and Deranged Humor" at The Nest rock club, in Brooklyn, NY. In 2024, Ben recently opened for Greg Fitzsimmons and Nick Griffin. Also, in 2023 and 2022, Ben's show Arthur Avenue Comedy was featured in the NY Comedy Festival as one of only two comedy shows in Bronx. In 2014, Ben traveled to Iceland to headline in the Iceland Comedy Festival. Ben Asher is a sought after Jewish comedian who frequently performs for Synagogues and on Jewish comedy shows and he recently headlined a Jewish comedy show for the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York and Temple Israel in Albany, NY. He has appeared in the Chosen Comedy Festival, Borscht Belt Comedy Festival and Ben was also the finalist in the 2014 Funniest Jewish Comedian Competition. In 2013 Ben was first in the New York Comedy Festival. Ben has been a guest on Sherrod Small's 'Races Wars' podcast. Ben currently produces and hosts the weekly Arthur Avenue Comedy show in NYC's Bronx borough, the monthly Comedy From Scratch at The Idea Kitchen, which was named “Best Comedy Show” by Westchester Magazine, and Slide-In at Slate-Nightclub in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, and has produced and hosts a monthly comedy show in Park Slope, Brooklyn and New York's East Village, DoublePlusGood Comedy, (formerly Nasal Vice! Stand-Up,) where, since 2013, rising comics perform long, 20+ minutes sets, every month. He also co-produces/hosts The Homebrewed Mic, giving New Yorkers a sample of homebrewed beers and comedy. From TimeOut NY: For comedy connoisseurs tired of seeing their favorite comics squeeze their sets into five minutes, Ben Asher's showcase provides full-length sets and a chill atmosphere for diverse acts to thrive in. Press: In addition to being a TimeOut New York 'Critics Pick', TimeOut NY has frequently called Ben's show the "best cheap things to do," of the week and one of the “most amazing things to do” of the month, and the New York Times has listed it show as an editor's choice multiple times.
