Once an underground rapper who worked with, among others De La Soul and Mark Ronson, Ben “Doc Brown” Smith put down one mic and picked up another in 2008 after working as a “slang consultant” on a Lenny Henry sitcom, written by Danny Robins and Dan Testell for Radio 4.
It was in Edinburgh 2008 that Doc reached the final of the annual So You Think You’re Funny? competition and he has since become a regular on the circuit, hitting the road in October 08, and currently developing a number of different shows for television and radio.
