Ben Miller

Ben Miller transitioned from a career in solid state physics at the University of Cambridge to become one of the most recognisable faces in British comedy. While undertaking a PhD in Natural Sciences, he began performing with the Footlights and eventually partnered with Alexander Armstrong. The duo rose to national prominence following their 1996 Perrier Award nomination and the subsequent success of their eponymous sketch show, Armstrong and Miller, which solidified their reputation as a leading comedic partnership. His versatile acting career spans major film and television productions, including roles in the Johnny English franchise, Primeval, and his acclaimed portrayal of Richard Poole in Death in Paradise. His portfolio extends to dramatic performances in Bridgerton and the lead role in the crime drama Professor T. Beyond his scripted work, he has maintained his connection to the scientific world by presenting popular factual programmes such as It's Not Rocket Science and authoring several successful books. Today, he is a much sought-after presence for events, bringing a rare blend of academic rigour and professional performance experience. Audiences value his ability to combine high-level scientific concepts with the timing and charm of an established stage and screen veteran. On stage, Ben Miller is best known for talks on Comedy, Acting and Physics. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Entertainment, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Ben Miller is regularly booked for Performers and Entertainer, After Dinner Speaker and Awards Hosts, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
