Benjamin and James Stevenson are identical twins who combine to form the musical comedy duo “The Stevenson Experience”. They first began their comedy career in high school by winning the state finals of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s Class Clowns competition. This brought them onto the main stage of the Melbourne Town Hall to perform for a sell-out crowd. Winning the state finals of the competition again the next year, and once again performing in Melbourne, spurred the brothers to become more serious about their comedy, and after spending a year honing their craft they re-emerged as The Stevenson Experience, becoming National Finalists in Triple J’s Raw Comedy competition, being featured on ABC television, and are now stalwarts of the Canberra Comedy Circuit. The Stevenson Experience were also cast in the Class Clowns Teenage Gala in 2009 at the Melbourne comedy festival, a show specifically targeted at school aged teenagers and a testament to their versatility with audiences.

The Stevenson Experience has performed on the main stage at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, The Sydney Comedy Store, and the Canberra Street Theatre, and can be frequently found gigging at all Canberra’s comedy venues. The Stevenson Experience has performed with Charlie Pickering, Michael Chamberlain, Wil Anderson, Corrine Grant, Kitty Flanagan, Dave Jory, Bo Burnham, Hannah Gadsby, Sam Simmons, Austen Tayshus, and The Bedroom Philosopher. They have also played corporate gigs for Events Management Australia.

In the beginning of 2009 they put on their first full length show, to a sell out crowd. They are currently working on bringing this show to Melbourne next year.
