Despite his youth, Hunter has already performed at major venues across Australia and opened for comedy talents including Aaron Chen, Emma Holland, Morgan Jay and Gianmarco Soresi, while also writing for television.
In the show description, Hunter notes: “My name is Ben Hunter, and so is my show’s. In this, my sophomore stand-up comedy show, I’ll be speaking about how the world has gone totally mad. I know that might seem like low-hanging fruit, but low-hanging fruit still contributes to a balanced five serves a day.”
He continues with characteristic confidence: “I may only be 15 or 16, but I can put on a comedy show that is at the very least on par with my contemporaries, some of whom I’m told are up to double my age.”
