Ross Bennett
The late 70’s were a different era and West Point admitted a different kind of cadet when Ross Bennett was sworn in on July 8, 1975. But by 1977 Ross has decided that he wanted to take aim and fire jokes at nightclub audiences. So he dropped out of West Point and landed right square in the middle of the comedy explosion that was taking America by storm. For 25 years Ross has led a comedy attack. Armed with an expressive delivery and real life topics including growing up with a Marine Colonel father, grade school snow days, disastrous golf games and catastrophic water skiing outings. “His rubbery face, skilled use of his voices and careful writing make him one of the most watchable and memorable performers on the comedy club circuit.”
