Ben McKenzie
Melbourne, Australia
I'm a performer, writer, game designer and nerd for all seasons.
I've been known to travel through time and space with Susan fromNeighboursin the radio comedy Night Terrace, and I co-host the monthly Terry Pratchett book club podcast Pratchat. I turn up in live comedy from time to time, often as the Dungeon Master in the Dungeons & Dragons inspired Impro comedy show Dungeon Crawl.
My games work has run the gamut of tabletop, digital, escape rooms, live action, VR and ARGs. I was lead writer on the PSVR title Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown, and lead game designer for live games company Pop Up Playground, including on our hit bank heist adventure Small Time Criminals.
I teach creative writing at 100 Story Building, and writing comedy at Collarts.
My favourite dinosaur is Stegosaurus, and my favourite element is helium.I tweet at @McKenzie_Ben.
