Our own Dr Phil makes final of Australia’s Got Talent!
Out of thousands of contestants, the people of Australia voted our own Dr Phil into the final of this years Australia’s Got Talent.
Hosted by Grant Denyer, and judged by Danni Minogue, Kyle Sandilands and Brian McFadden, Australia’s Got Talent is one of the top-rating shows on Channel 7. Famous internationally for finding such great talents as Susan Boyle and the Justice Crew, the “Got Talent” franchise takes to the streets to find the most talented people throughout Australia. Not limited to just singers or dancers, this years Australia’s Got Talent included circus acts, comedians, magicians, musicians, sand artists, child performers and even animal tricks. You name it, Australia’s Got Talent had it!
After auditioning thousands of acts around Australia, the best of the acts were put to the test on live television with the judges providing their praise and criticism. It is then up to the Australian public to vote on who they choose to be the winner of Australia’s Got Talent and who is going to take home the $250,000 prize.
Service Central’s own Dr Phil (aka Ben Price) was one of the thousands of Australians who entered the competition this year. Ben’s talents are truly amazing with the perfect blending of impersonations and stand up comedy. Ben’s impersonations flow naturally from the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Irwin, Dr Evil, James Bond, Borat, and of course Dr Phil himself. In fact, Ben seems to have an endless repertoire of celebrity impersonations that he is able to tap into, including politicians, sports stars and socialites. Taking his skills to the next level, Ben not only is an impersonation guru he is also pure comic genius.
Ben brought his best game to Australia’s Got Talent and rose to the top, making this years final. Watch Ben’s Grand Final performance.
We first met Ben back in 2005/2006 when both Ben and Service Central were first starting out. Ben was an up and coming comedian, getting some gigs with Gold FM in Melbourne. We kept in touch over the years, and in early 2009 we worked with Ben to record our (in)famous Dr Phil videos. In a full days filming, Ben (aka Dr Phil) walked us through every aspect of the Service Central website and helped bring to life what is Service Central and how we can help you.
Despite the controversies (i.e. Who is that man? Why is there an American appearing on an Australian website? Why is he popping up all over our website? etc.). We feel that Ben’s work as Dr Phil reflects really well what Service Central is all about and what we stand for. Namely, a down to earth approach to life with a big chunk of humour thrown in. That said, the videos are also very professional and communications are not only fun but extremely clear. Who said that life had to be boring?
Now you can find Ben Price in action across Service Central, such as in this video and on the pop-up videos that appear on these pages:
Ben is a true talent and we would truly recommend you seeing him live. He is a regular at comedy shows and comedy festivals, and is also available for corportate events and videos. For more information about Ben Price, head to his website: http://benpricecomedy.com
