Previous Fringe productions include Tungsten: Boy of Mars (2020) Songs of the Fall, abridged (2017, encore award) and Songs of the Fall (2015, NOMINEE – Inkwell Playwright Award). Outside of Fringe, Ben is a singer/ songwriter and recording artist, whose music has been featured in the shows Little Voice, and X Factor Denmark. In 2021, he released his first album Lost in California with writing partner Brian Graden. He has been in a codependent relationship with his cat Phoebe since 2020.
