With impersonations exact in sound in a stand-up routine or full costume and make-up, Ben can not only sound but also look the part. His Dr. Phil impersonation is with the full prosthetic make-up which looks almost identical to the real Dr. Phil. This is 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! |
