Following a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (five stars
plus listing in the top 20 free shows of the Fringe) and having performed
successfully all over the world for the past 15 years Benjamin Crellin
brings a wealth of experience to the London comedy scene - and it
shows.

His show, Benjamin Crellin: Stands to Reason is tour de force of
comedy but is not for the faint-hearted or easily-offended...it is
challenging, hilarious and frequently profound, tackling subjects such as
the economy, war and the modern world with a large dose of irreverent
humour.

Asked why he is performing for free for the Occupy movement,
Benjamin says, "I’ve visited the site several times now and I’ve
decided I really want to contribute. Unfortunately, due to my limited skill
set, all I have to offer are my jokes. So they will have to do."
