Ben Nealon

"It Comes in Waves" Eastern Angles June 2026

Written by local writer James McDermott and drawing on his own experiences of bereavement after losing his father during the pandemic, 'It Comes In Waves' is a big-hearted community-spirited coastal comedy drama that laughs in the face of loss, explores how grief comes in waves and asks how we can help each other to stay afloat when it hits.

"The acting is exquisite. As Howard, Ben Nealon radiates positivity, sensitivity and vulnerability in equal measure. Some of the most powerful moments are when he takes mementoes of his son out of a box and holds them up in silence."

"Pedantic lawyer, Nocello, played by Ben Nealon, is a superbly creepy advocate and explains in comic detail just how mistaken and defeated she is."

"Ben Nealon...gives the audience those moments that allow us to relax and breathe from the undeniable tension - he is the perfect representation of someone who feels the pressure of stronger personalities and so relents more easily than others. However, through the depths of Nealon's performance, we can also see how this does sit well with him and the uncomfortable inner turmoil he is grappling with shines through."
