Ben Palmer is a comedian known for his distinctive blend of satire, trolling, and social commentary.

His bits often involve elaborate pranks that blur the line between reality and parody. In one of his most well-known stunts, Palmer spent months pretending to work for a social media company while communicating with former U.S. Congressman Ted Yoho, recording conversations that eventually led to Yoho admitting on tape that he had called Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “f---ing b----” despite previously telling Congress the incident never happened.

Palmer also poses as a reporter to bait multilevel marketing executives into absurd back-and-forth exchanges that waste the time of both the executives and their lawyers, and attends scam company job interviews to expose exploitative labor practices.

More recently, his work includes creating a fake deportation reporting website that allows people to submit complaints about their neighbors, exposing prejudice and paranoia.

His live show blends stand-up comedy with digital storytelling, using real screenshots and recordings to create a fast-paced performance that mixes humor with sharp social observation.
