Ben Roy with Lily Meyer

The Comedy Corner Underground - 1501 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN, United States
Comic Ben Roy on his punk band, YouTube special, the merits of anger





If you aren't familiar with Ben Roy, he's been taking comedy audiences by storm since 2004, bringing an unparalleled energy and unique voice to the stage. Often compared to Lewis Black or Bill Hicks due to his passionate, ranting approach, Roy has a style that is definitively his own.



Roy cut his comedic teeth here in Denver at Comedy Works. Since then, he has been selected to perform at many comedy festivals and has been featured on HBO’s Funny as Hell series; as well as on the Comedy Central shows Adam DeVine’s House Party, Corporate, @midnight, and This Is Not Happening. Ben has released three stand-up comedy albums and was listed as one of Variety's Top 10 Comics to Watch in 2015.



Along with fellow Denver Comedians Adam Cayton-Holland and Andrew Orvedahl (who collectively perform as The Grawlix), Ben, wrote and starred in TruTV’s original comedy series Those Who Can’t, which ran for three seasons and can now be streamed on HBO Max. In addition to stand-up comedy, Roy is a prolific musician, currently the lead singer of SPELLS.

Opening for Ben is the always very great Lily Meyer!




Lily Meyer is a stand-up comedian and writer who began her comedy career in Boston, and now lives in her hometown of Minneapolis. Her style of comedy is observational and sarcastic, mainly drawing from her personal life. Some have claimed her humor is dark, but that is simply the type of humor you inherit growing up in the Midwest. She performs at the Comedy Corner Underground, Sisyphus Brewing, and Camp Bar while also co-producing a bimonthly show at Indeed Brewing. She is a contributing writer for RiffTrax.
