The Laughable Team
Ben Giles
Founder. President. Producer. Performer.
Ben Giles is the founder and president of Laughable Productions, a Wisconsin-based entertainment company dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences through comedy, murder mysteries, game shows, and live events. Since launching the company in 2019, Ben has produced dozens of sold-out events across the Midwest, earning a reputation for combining quick wit, interactive storytelling, and exceptional event production into one-of-a-kind experiences.
With more than a decade of experience in improv, stand-up, live entertainment, and MC'ing, Ben has shared the stage with performers from across the country, opened for Second City, and hosted hundreds of live events ranging from stand-up comedy showcases and competitions to corporate entertainment and charity fundraisers. His passion lies in bringing people together through laughter and creating experiences that guests talk about long after the show ends.
Outside of the stage, Ben has built a career centered on leadership, community engagement, and innovation. He served on the Fond du Lac City Council for 4 years becoming the youngest person ever elected in city history in 2018. He's been on numerous nonprofit and tourism boards, and helped organize major community festivals and events throughout Wisconsin. Those experiences have shaped his philosophy that great entertainment doesn't just entertain—it strengthens communities.
Ben's goal is always the same: deliver a professional, engaging, and genuinely funny experience that leaves every audience smiling.
He is the Business Development Manager at AMC Countertops, President of the Eastern Ridge Homebuilders Association, and a member of the Sawdust District Entertainment Collaborative.
When he's not producing shows, you'll probably find him exploring Wisconsin's restaurants with his family, filming reviews, brainstorming the next big event, or convincing someone that they should absolutely volunteer to participate in the show.
