Ben Katzner headlines The Pit Comedy Club at Flyway Brewing

A stand-up comedian and writer who was adopted at a young age, raised in Minnesota and cut his teeth in New York City, Ben Katzner's unique background leads to a one-of-kind live show on stage. One of comedy's best kept secrets, Ben charms audiences with subversive jokes, biting observational humor and skilled story telling, all from a relatable point of view. Katzner regularly opens for comedian Kelsey Cook and has opened for a variety of performers including Josh Johnson, Geoffrey Asmus and Chad Daniels. In 2025, Ben released his debut comedy album via Blonde Medicine's label, and a coinciding comedy special on Youtube. The project, "Supple Harlot" received rave reviews and plays regularly on Sirius XM. Katzner is also a published author. His debut graphic novel, "Hello, My Name is Poop" was published by Wonderbound books in 2021. His second graphic novel, Muddy Waters Too (co-written with legendary rapper Redman), was published in 2025. Ben also has really great calves. Seriously. It's nuts.
