Ben Palmer

Ben Palmer's early career is defined by collaborations with emerging comedic talents including Russell Brand, Leigh Francis and Kristen Schaal, and early success on shows such as the BAFTA-nominated and British Comedy Award winner Bo Selecta, and the BAFTA-nominated Star Stories.

Ben directed several pilots, including C4's The Inbetweeners, which he then helmed through its phenomenally successful 2nd and 3rd series - the show won several awards at the BAFTA, National Television, Broadcast, and British Comedy Awards, and won the Rose d'Or.

In 2011, The Inbetweeners Movie took a record £36m at the domestic box office, $80m+ worldwide, and won Best Comedy Film at the Empire Movie Awards in 2012. The film's success confirmed Ben as one of the most in-demand comedy directors in the UK and he continued to make comedy shows such as the Milton Jones-starrer House of Rooms, Bain & Armstrong's telenovela-satire and cult classic Bad Sugar, and Company Pictures London Irish.

He also directed the whole series of Chickens for Big Talk and Sky. Ben was directing SunTrap a new series for the BBC through his production company Happy Tramp which he co-founded with Neil Webster. SunTrap stars Kayvan Novak and Bradley Walsh.
