Ben MacLean is a German-Canadian performer based in Berlin.

Originally from Nova Scotia in eastern North America, Ben has over 30 million views online and is celebrating thirteen years of hosting and performing standup--not to mention over a decade of terrorizing Berliners with his rural Canadian friendliness. Ben performs in English, German and French and is the world’s only diplomat turned comedian. His one-of-a-kind LinkedIn profile also includes stints as a flight attendant. Add to this the reality TV-like experience of growing up the youngest of seven, and he’s been blessed with lots of material. In addition to doing shows in L.A., Cape Town and Tokyo, he was invited to perform at Berlin's Quatsch Comedy Club and was a semifinalist in the U.K.’s prestigious “So You Think You’re Funny?” competition. You might also know him from appearances in Siegessäule, Männer and taz or from Go West Comedy, his monthly showcase in Schöneberg.

Ben is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for outstanding public service and has hosted and performed at various multilingual corporate events for clients in the public and private sector.
