Known for delivering fast-paced, razor-sharp, completely improvised comedy, Ben Schwartz & Friends is a one-of-a-kind live experience where nothing is written, rehearsed, or planned in advance. Each performance is created entirely on the spot, making every show unique to the city and audience in the room. With surprise guests joining Schwartz onstage, no two nights are ever the same—and that unpredictability is exactly what has made the show a global sell-out.
At the centre of it all is Ben Schwartz, an Emmy Award–winning writer, actor, and comedian whose career spans film, television, animation, and—at its core—live comedy. Ben has released three acclaimed long-form improv specials on Netflix as part of Middleditch & Schwartz, showcasing his mastery of character-driven, long-form improvisation. His latest touring show, Ben Schwartz & Friends, has sold out some of the world’s most iconic venues, including Radio City Music Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and London’s Royal Albert Hall.
