Bennett Arron is an award-winning Welsh writer and stand-up comedian. In 1997 he was a finalist of the "BBC New Comedy Awards", alongside Peter Kay and Justin Lee Collins. He is a past winner of the "BBC Wales New Writer's Award" and the "TAPS Comedy Writer of The Year Award".

Originally from Port Talbot in South Wales, Bennett moved to London to attend the drama school, the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts. It was there that he started writing and performing sketches. After leaving Drama School he formed the Sketch Group 4-Ply. The group toured venues around the country and had a sell-out show at the Edinburgh Festival.Since then Bennett has had a very successful career as a stand-up comedian and has written for several television programmes. In 2007, he wrote, directed and presented the documentary "How Not To Lose Your Identity" for Channel 4 [http://www.channel4.com/news/microsites/I/identity/] which was based on his own experience of Identiy Fraud and proved how easy a crime it easy to carry out. In the programme he stole the identity of the then Home Secretary, Charles Clarke and was subsequently arrested. The programme was critically acclaimed by the Press ("Pick of the Week" The Guardian, "fascinating and disturbing ****" The TV Times) and led to Bennett touring a show based on his experiences as well as being commissioned to write a book.
