The cheat sheet
Get to know Ben in 5 quick hits
Yes, he plays guitar. The funny songs are annoyingly catchy, and the love songs sneak up and get you.
He has headlined The Stonewall Inn and played Club Cumming with Cat Cohen.
Sometimes it is a funny song, sometimes it is straight music, sometimes it is pure stand-up.
The funny songs will make you laugh. A few of them will also quietly wreck you.
Catch him live around New York, then keep the songs on repeat long after.
