Comedian Benito Skinner (who goes by the handle Benny Drama on TikTok) stars in the upcoming Prime Video TV comedy series Overcompensating, where he plays a closeted former football player and homecoming king trying to make his way through college life. In the series, “Benny” becomes fast friends with Carmen (played by Wally Barami), a high school outsider trying to fit in at all costs.

“With guidance from Benny’s older sister (Mary Beth Barone) and her campus-legend boyfriend (Adam DiMarco), Benny and Carmen juggle horrible hookups, flavored vodka, and fake IDs.
“Deeply funny and personal, the show explores the lengths to which we all overcompensate while on the path to finding out who we really are.”
Skinner not only stars in the series, but is also credited as writer/creator and executive producer for the show. Don’t blink and you’ll see Grammy Award-winning pop star Charli XCX (who’s also listed as executive music producer for the show) in a quick cameo in the trailer below. Overcompensating lands on Prime Video May 15.
