Career

Benjamin's comedy career began in Boston, where he was first in a comedy duo with Sam Seder, then a director of Cross Comedy, a comedy team led by David Cross. Benjamin spent most of his time in groups rather than alone. His post-independence work became more experimental, rejecting traditional approaches of stand-up comedy.

Benjamin's live shows include the Midnight Pajama Jam, a show starring Jon Glaser and Tinkle in New York City, a show that blends stand-up comedy and live music co-hosted by Todd Barry and David Cross.
