Owen Benjamin is an American comedian, actor and internet personality known for his stand-up comedy and appearances in various TV shows and films.
In recent years, Owen has become more prominent for his hilarious online presence, especially after becoming one of the most cancelled comedians due to doing what comedians are supposed to be doing: comedy.
The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can’t fake it.
Lenny Bruce
Pretty much everything he’s ever done has been removed from its respective channel. For example, Spotify removed all of his Joe Rogan podcasts.
The establishment hates Owen, which means that I don’t.
I recommend checking out his special Noble Savage and his video platform Unauthorized.TV.
The right to offend is far more important than any right not to be offended.
