Ben Hawes Musical Comedy

Where awkward moments & heart come together in hilarious, relatable songs

I create musical comedy that’s bold, heartfelt, and unapologetically me. My songs explore everything from the awkwardness of queer teen years to the hilarious chaos of adulting in NYC.

Growing up queer in America shaped my sense of humor, and now I turn life’s cringiest moments—falling for straight guys, navigating dating apps, or surviving family holidays—into funny, relatable songs.

My performances are a mix of sharp wit, catchy melodies, and moments that make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even sing along. At the heart of it all, I want to inspire people to embrace their weirdness, live authentically, and maybe laugh a little louder.
