Benji Waterstones

Hello there. I’m Benji and I'm an NHS junior doctor, hence moving into comedy. Specifically I'm a psychiatrist. Now, I know what you're thinking... 

​

Besides my (award-winning) stand-up I sometimes tell sad stories without punchlines when hosting 'The Moth' storytelling night in  London.
 

I also write to raise mental health awareness in things like The Guardian, The Independent, GQ and Chortle. 

My first book 'You Don't Have To Be Mad To Work Here' is being published by Vintage in Spring 2024 and adapted for television by House Productions.
