http://beccabarrmanagement.co.uk/ben-shires.asp A former Red Pages Hot 100 pick, Ben has appeared alongside Russell Kane, co-hosting E4's The Idiot Awards, and currently writes and fronts The Dave Weekly, a highly successful comedy podcast now in its third series for Dave, that has been recognised with an iTunes' Best New Comedy Podcast Award 2011 and a Loaded LAFTA Award for best podcast in 2013. Most recently, Ben has been hosting CBBC's Officially Amazing, a madcap look at world records that sees him travel the globe in search of bonkers record breakers. In its first series alone the show established its credentials, setting record-breaking viewing figures and becoming one of CBBC's core brands. When not on the telly, Ben splits his time between stand up comedy and trying to physically split time. So far his attempts have been unsuccessful, but have cost him a small fortune in watch repairs.
