Ben Russell was a host, writer and co-founding member of 'The Grub' podcast along with Anne Edmonds and Greg Larsen. He also hosted 'Little Scamps' with Xavier Michelides and a successful Twitch stream as 'BonMember'.
Ben has voiced the docu-series 'Who Is Funny Lady?' for the Grub as well as the regular characters Jorme, Funny Lady, Smooth Thomas, Steve Manly, the host of Grub Listies and others. Ben is also responsible for the much loved fan fiction heard in the show. Each week he ends both bonus and regular episodes with the catch phrase "Check Out 'The Simpsons'!" alongside his co-hosts, in an ironic flourish. Ben was named Grub of the Week in Episode 21 for farting. Ben was also named Grub of the Week in Episode 27 with a double nomination for eating his partner's pastie and then telling a boring story about it.
