Ben Schwartz

Ben Schwartz is an Emmy-winning writer, actor, and comedian celebrated for his lightning-fast wit and high-energy stage presence. While many fans recognize him as the iconic, scene-stealing Jean-Ralphio Saperstein on Parks and Recreation or as the voice of the titular hero in the Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise, his comedic roots are firmly planted in the world of live, unscripted performance. A veteran of the Upright Citizens Brigade, Schwartz has redefined modern comedy through his acclaimed long-form improv specials on Netflix, Middleditch & Schwartz, and his starring roles in hits like The Afterparty and House of Lies. Seeing Ben Schwartz live is a masterclass in spontaneous creativity. His global tour, "Ben Schwartz & Friends," has sold out legendary venues from Radio City Music Hall to the Royal Albert Hall, offering a completely unique experience at every stop.
