Ben Rosenfeld
Seen on The Nick Cannon Show and BuzzFeed Video
Ben Rosenfeld is a quirky Russian-Jewish immigrant whose comedy is best described as “playfully dark, seriously smart.” His Neuro Curious stand-up explores what happens when you spend your life trying to fit in, only to eventually start wondering whether your brain might have been playing by different rules the whole time.
Ben’s comedy is about recognizing how weird your own brain is. He blends observations about neurodivergence with relationships, his Russian-Jewish immigrant family, American culture and the absurdity of trying to understand other human beings.
Ben performs stand-up in both English and Russian — which, to most Americans, probably sounds like a hostage video.
Ben has more than 250,000 TikTok followers and 100 million views and has appeared on BuzzFeed Video, FOX’s Laughs, The Nick Cannon Show, FOX News Saturday Night, Amazon Sports Talk, Travel Channel’s Mysteries at the Museum, CBS This Morning, Nat Geo’s Brain Games, Netflix’s Brainchild, NPR’s Weekend Edition, SiriusXM Radio and more. He has also been featured as TimeOut New York’s Joke of the Week.
Ben has twice headlined Caroline’s on Broadway, hosted at Lincoln Center and performed at festivals including the New York Comedy Festival, Boston Comedy Festival and Laugh Your Asheville Off.
Ben has two comedy specials and five comedy albums: Geopolitical Dck Jokes, Don’t Shake Your Miracle (#1 best seller on Amazon), The United States of Russia (#1 best seller on iTunes), The Russian Optimist and, appropriately enough, Neuro Comedy.
Ben is also the creator of the illustrated humor book Russian Optimism: Dark Nursery Rhymes to Cheer You Right Up and co-author of Giving Mirth: Funny Thoughts on Pregnancy, Newborns and Tots.
NEURO CURIOUS
A comedy show for people who have Googled “Do I have autism?”
Ever wonder if your brain is just a little… weird?
Neuro Curious is Ben Rosenfeld’s playfully dark, seriously smart stand-up show about recognizing how weird your own brain is — and realizing everyone else might be just as weird.
A Russian-Jewish immigrant who spent most of his life trying to fit in, Ben jokes about neurodivergence, relationships, family, immigrant culture and the increasingly relatable question: “Wait… is everyone a little autistic now?”
It’s comedy about trying to understand other people, figuring out yourself, and learning how to fit in without becoming normal.
Come recognize your own weirdness. Laugh at Ben’s. Leave with absolutely no medical diagnosis.
