Before he got behind the wheel of The Cash Cab – Ben Bailey began his career as a Stand Up comedian. As a young man Bailey left his home in a small town in New Jersey and headed to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of a career in show business. Just a few weeks later he found himself onstage at The Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip and knew right away that he had found his calling. He soon after returned to the East Coast and quickly became a crowd favorite at the clubs in New York City. He has since performed at all the major festivals including Montreal and Chicago (Just For Laughs), The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and at clubs and theaters around the world.
