Ben Brainard

Ben Brainard originally from Dayton Beach, Florida is a comedian with a natural ability to make any crowd laugh. For a year and a half after high school, he majored in mechanical engineering and double minored in physics and CAD/CAM at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. Then, one day, he got bored of calculus, dropped out of school, joined the US Army Reserve, moved to Orlando and started doing standup comedy. Ben has always said “yes” to opportunities, and his “I’ll try anything once” attitude has ultimately lead to some hilarious stories and an irrationally high 26 different jobs since he turned 16. Ben has done everything from work a drive-thru at Chick-fil-A to drive a bus for the YMCA after school program, and now he takes the stage to tell all about everything he’s done and seen and make you laugh along the way. He’s also produced several shows for Army Reserve units.

During quarantine, Ben found viral success producing “The Table,” a sketch comedy series about how the various states of the US are handling current events.
