Sketch show written by and starring upcoming comedy stars Laura Solon, Ben Willbond and Marek Larwood, who fuse their three individual brands of comedy into one show featuring sketches, vox pops and a series of bizarre recurring characters.

Recurring characters include: Dennis with Narnia in his wardrobe - "Bloody government. I can't even get an extension for a small non-offensive glass conservatory and someone's built a bastard forest in my cupboard", the philosophy of Terry and Terry - "I fink the best thing about being a bed wetter, right, is I don't find it hard getting up in the mornings" and bored parents' bedtime stories - "There didn't seem to be any valid reason on God's earth why a woman shouldn't do at least two of the beast-men".

Laura, Ben And Him fuses Laura, Ben and Marek's very individual brand of award-winning comedy - ensemble sketches, closely observed characters, monologues, one-liners, returning situations and stand-alone skits - into one show for the first time, resulting in a series jam-packed with silliness.
