CORTLAND, N.Y. – Ross Bennett began his career when he dropped out of West Point US Military Academy to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian.
"That was probably the greatest service I will ever do for my country," he says.

For more than three decades, Bennett has been a high-powered performer making audiences laugh across New York, Los Angeles, and stops in between.
He comes armed with an expressive delivery and real life topics - from growing up in Buffalo with a Marine Colonel father, grade school snow days, disastrous golf games, catastrophic water skiing outings and middle age medical procedures.
