Benji Aflalo is a razor-sharp comedian, writer, and actor who has carved out his own unique corner of the comedy world with his deadpan delivery and brutally honest observations. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Aflalo's comedy reflects the neuroses and contradictions of millennial life in the entertainment capital. He burst into mainstream recognition as the co-creator, writer, and star of Freeform's "Alone Together" alongside his real-life best friend Esther Povitsky, a semi-autobiographical series produced by The Lonely Island that perfectly captured the awkward reality of platonic friendships in Hollywood. Beyond his television success, Aflalo has established himself as a formidable presence in the comedy roast circuit, serving as a writer for major Comedy Central roasts including "The Roast of Tom Brady" and "The Roast of Bruce Willis." His stand-up style blends self-deprecating humor with sharp social commentary, often exploring themes of dating, social media, and the absurdities of modern life. A regular performer at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Aflalo continues to tour as a headliner while maintaining his podcast "Fat Benji" and making frequent appearances on popular comedy shows like "Kill Tony."
