About Ben Roy
Ben Roy (born June 18, 1979) is an American comedian and musician originally from Winthrop, Maine, who now lives in Denver, Colorado. Heavily tattooed and known for his "spittle-flecked rants" on stage, Roy has been compared to Bill Hicks and Lewis Black. He is a member of The Grawlix, a trio of Denver comedians who produce a monthly live comedy show and web series, and he stars on the TruTV show Those Who Can't. He is also a singer who has fronted several Denver-area punk rock bands.
Roy started in stand-up comedy when he entered a Comedy Works new talent night in early 2004, placing second to comedian Josh Blue in a professional competition a few months later. In the summer of 2010 he was invited to perform in the "New Faces" division of the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, and was invited back for its 2012 Nasty Show. His debut album, I Got Demons, was released in 2012 and ranked one of the 10 Best Comedy Albums of the year by Laughspin, followed by No Enlightenment in Sobriety in 2014.
Early in his career Roy met fellow Denver comedians Andrew Orvedahl and Adam Cayton-Holland, and the trio officially formed The Grawlix, performing a monthly show at The Bug Theatre. The group teamed with The Nix Brothers to produce a pilot for Amazon in June 2012 called Those Who Can't; TruTV later re-filmed it and aired three seasons between 2016 and 2019. As a musician, Roy fronted punk band The Mendicants and hardcore band Thousand Year Suffering in Maine, and now fronts the band SPELLS, formed in 2012. He has been vocal about his struggle with alcoholism and has been sober since 2010.
