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.

She balances being incredulous with being delightful, and draws from her experience of having a huge birthmark on her cheek (but she doesn’t talk about it too much…or, just enough? Whatever’s correct). Chloe’s one-woman show CHEAT, about her history of infidelity, led The New York Times’ recommendations for the New York Comedy Festival. She sold out her full-month run at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with reviews calling it, “Hilarious and sharply-crafted” (Deadline), “Worthy of the greats like Mike Birbiglia” (Chortle), and “A new take on an old topic, with hard-hitting punchlines” (The New York Times).
