Ben Asher: Live at Flip Flops Comedy Club
This Friday kicks off our seasonal closing weekend with a headliner you won’t want to miss! He’s been called “brave,” “confrontational,” and a “brilliant joke writer,” and now he’s bringing his one-of-a-kind act to Old Orchard Beach for one night only.
Ben Asher is a New York-based writer and comedian who has performed at some of the biggest venues and festivals in the country, from the New York Comedy Festival to headlining the Iceland Comedy Festival. He’s a finalist in the 2014 Funniest Jewish Comedian Competition, a member of the legendary Friars Club, and opened for Greg Fitzsimmons in 2024. His 2022 half-hour special, An Intimate Evening of Provocative and Deranged Humor, pretty much tells you everything you need to know about his style. He doesn’t just dissect language and taboos—he explodes them. Audiences describe his act as “alarmingly profound” and “terrifying, but funny,” and you’ll probably laugh at something you feel like you shouldn’t.
He’s joined by a lineup of special guests to keep the night rolling with laughter. Cold drinks, big laughs, and a comic who’s not afraid to push every button in the room. Let’s send the season out right.
