Ben Marcotte is originally from rural Minnesota but moved to Minneapolis in 2015 to further pursue standup comedy. Since then, he’s performed all across the Upper Midwest to rave reviews. He’s the type of guy that you have probably seen many times before, but never had the inclination to talk to. Marcotte blends stories of past life experiences with whimsical observations that leave audiences wanting more.

As a professional by day, comedian by night, Marcotte will share stories and insights from the mind of an everyman that will make you feel grateful that you don’t have to go to the same company picnics or family reunions as he does. While he is a master story teller with a great command of the English language, his true skill is not being caught by his boss while typing this bio at work. It was close, twice.

​Ben has performed at corporate events and clubs all over the Midwest including performances at: Goonies Comedy Club, Boss’ Comedy Club, House of Comedy and the Paramount Theater in Austin, MN. Ben has particated in the Charm City Comedy Festival in Baltimore, MD and the Sioux Falls Sno Jam Comedy Festival in Sioux Falls, SD. He has also competed in the Funniest Comedian in the Heartland contest in Lowell, AR, along with being a semi-finalist in the Funniest Person with a Day Job contest at the House of Comedy.
