Ben Lockshin
(he/him)
Washington Improv TheaterBen comes from a long line of comedians — one of his ancestors literally made up the last name “Lockshin” as a joke.
An inspiration to procrastinators everywhere, Ben signed up for his first improv class in 2015 and finished the curriculum a mere 9 years later. Somewhere in there, he wrote and produced a play at the Capital Fringe Festival featuring WIT performers, and more recently has performed for the Harold teams Goth Baby and Heavy Water as well as the D&D-themed ensemble Table Talk.
In real life, Ben is a professional transit nerd and an amateur hiker, biker, trivia enthusiast, and board gamer. He lives in Park View, DC, with his lovely wife and daughter and a mostly lovely calico cat.
