Iris Benson has garnered such praise as “Bleak and honest”, “pleasantly dark”, “wonderfully weird” and “pretty good for a woman” by no one worth mentioning. Fellow comic Mean Dave says of her, “ She is a very sweet person and a funny comedian who I relate to very much.” Former comic, author, and former owner of the sadly, now closed, Green Machine Comics in Newark, CA, Steve Mix, says, “Warn your children about Iris Benson…before it is too late.” Glenn Sumi of Toronto Now described her as “least likable”, “angry” and “misanthropic” upon seeing her perform at SheDot Comedy Festival in Toronto. Iris has performed in many other comedy festivals all over the United States including Devil Fest in New York, the Cape Fear Comedy Festival in Wilmington North Carolina, the Idaho Comedy Festival in Boise, ID and The World Series of Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, NV.
