Comedians

Ross Bennett

SO WHEN DID YOU START DOING STAND-UP COMEDY?
I enlisted in the Army in 1973 with hopes of getting out 3 years later and going to college on the GI Bill. But the Army had other ideas and ended up sending me to West Point. After a year and a half I resigned to become a comedian. To my father it was like dropping out of the Human Race to be a cloud.

Dad was disappointed but fortunately I knew it was the right thing to do. After I left the Academy I studied theatre, and started doing stand-up on the side. Eventually it was more fun hanging out in bars and telling jokes for a little cash, than hanging out in theatres, doing Ibsen and trying to get funding.

Ross is a must-see for every Comedy Connoisseur. And his appearances on Comedy Central, Evening at the Improv, Comic Strip Live, Comedy Tonight, Entertainment Tonight, Stand Up, Stand Up, David Brenner’s Nightlife and USA’s Night Flight only serve to validate that statement. Ross Bennett… a high-powered performer who takes his act to the audience and comes back with a victory every time!!
