Ben Roy - CO-CREATOR AND STAR OF TRUTV'S HIT SHOW THOSE WHO CAN'T, COMEDY CENTRAL, HBO, VARIETY'S TOP 10 COMICS TO WATCH. 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.

Since then, he has been selected to perform at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, Just For Laughs Toronto, Just For Laughs Chicago, The New York Comedy Festival, Austin’s South by Southwest festival, and many more. Roy 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 also released four stand-up comedy albums and was listed as one of Variety's Top 10 Comics to Watch. In 2023 his first streaming stand-up special, "HYENA", was released on YouTube by 800LB Gorilla Media.
Along with fellow Denver Comedians Adam Cayton-Holland and Andrew Orvedahl (who collectively perform as The Grawlix), Ben created, wrote, and starred in TruTV’s original comedy series Those Who Can’t, which now has all three seasons available for streaming on HBOMax. He's also currently host of two podcasts, 97.9 The Rat Race on the All Things Comedy network, and The Grawlix. Saves the World available on The Starburns Audio Network. In addition to stand-up comedy, acting, and writing, Roy is a prolific musician and the current lead singer of pop-punk outfit "SPELLS." For this episode, Ben Roy joins Bobby Marshall in studio to discuss Comedy, Punk Rock Music, sports training, professional athletes, UFC, MMA, East Coast life, sportsmanship, Jiujitsu, family, Colorado, and much more.
