Ben
Price
Speaker Profile
'Who is Ben Price?' you may be wondering. That's OK... he's wondering the same. He can be Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Oliver or Sean Connery, and he's on Melbourne's Gold 104.3FM every day!
Since the age of 10 Ben has been impersonating everybody and has now mastered over 100 voices including Dr Evil, Austin Powers, Fat Bastard, Nigel Powers (Michael Caine), Tony Greig, Bill Lawry, Richie Benaud, Shane Warne, Mark Taylor, Rex Hunt, John Howard, Mark Latham, John Cleese, Billy Connolly, Homer Simpson, Barney, Mo, Apu, Tony Blair, George W. Bush, Jay Leno, Hugh Grant, Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Samuel L. Jackson, Jerry Springer, Jay Leno, Dr Phil, Woody Allen, Mr Bean, Shrek, Donkey, Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal, Robert De Niro, Jerry Seinfeld, Russell Crowe, Prince Charles, Michael Jackson, Owen Wilson, Jackie Chan and many more. He also has original characters Tim Tam from Vietnam, Wayne Jones, Boris Nickoff and Karay Singh.
He's featured on Toyota TV Commercials as Steve Irwin and Jack Nicholson, as well as commercials for Holden and Eclipse Homes. His many character voices have been used for several radio campaigns.
With sellout shows in the 2000 Comedy Festival with 'Melbourne the Musical', 2001 with 'Who Am I?' and 2003 with 'The Best Show Ever', Ben is one of Australia's comical success stories. He has performed all over Australia, Hong Kong, China, Singapore and Europe.
Ben has featured on TV shows such as Rex Hunt's Footy Panel, The Footy Show, The Sunday Footy Show, AXA Grand Final Breakfast and Live and Kicking.
With impersonations exact in voice in a stand-up routine or the full package in costume and make-up, Ben can not only sound but also look the part, ideal for corporate events, especially with tailor-made clean material. He is also an excellent choice as an MC/host.
With so much experience in the corporate and circuit work and with so many characters, it's no wonder Ben Price is Australia's best impersonator!

Client Comments
Client Comments
- At first as we came around the corner we actually thought it was Matt Preston standing there. The makeup, voice, gestures were all so spot on! Matt... I mean Ben... would have no problems fooling a crowd that he was there as a special guest judge at any conference. We've now seen Ben as Dr Phil, Borat (a personal favourite), Arnie and now Matt Preston and it still amazes us how he is the one person under all of these terrific characters!
Professionals Real Estate - Ben was one of the best MCs we have had throughout the six years I have been organizing conferences for Professionals Real Estate. He is funny, witty, has many characters to offer throughout the longer events which keep the audience entertained and brings a relaxed approach to an atmosphere that can often be frantic and stressful. I have received so many comments from our delegates post conference stating that Ben has been our best MC yet, questions on his availability to come visit their offices and just straight out - where can they get Ben's details. One very important MC characteristic that our attendees tend to base their decision on is the ability for the MC to mingle with guests and really be part of the conference. This is something that Ben does extremely well. Believe me, you will not be disappointed when hiring Borat, Arnie, Dr Phil or even just Ben Price himself.
Professionals Real Estate - Spoke very well, and related to our audience.
Paccar Australia Pty Ltd - Our Excellence Awards went very well and Ben was great, very professional and accommodating. We had excellent feedback. His MC role was very well received as was his 20 min performance. Ben's witty and light humour thrown in between the awards presentations kept the guests laughing and entertained.
NECA - He came in as a bumbling English Nurseryman with an innovative idea for tracking plants - confused the life out of the professionals in the industry. He even managed to get them asking questions before revealing his true identity - which one would that be? He has his characters down to perfection - turn around and you wouldn't know you were listening to an impersonator. He was great fun. Excellent!
Nursery Garden and Industry of Victoria - Thank you so much for making our Christmas Luncheon this year a special one. Your show was absolutely brilliant and everyone of our customers that I have spoken to have said how much they enjoyed your impersonations and jokes (my cheek muscles were aching afterwards!). I've no doubt you are Australia's best impersonator and we would highly recommend you to anyone looking for similar professional corporate entertainment.
