WDYD? is back in your ears as I chat with the lovely Ben about being a stand-up comedian. I wanted to find out what it's really like to work your magic on a room or fend off a gang of drunken punters with only a microphone. We talk heckles, first times, pre-show routines, and as always we blow the dust off the Jobometer and play Jargon Buster. Ben is appearing at the Brighton Fringe this May, and has a Work in Progress show at the Bill Murray in Islington in August, go and see him! You'll find the links to those shows and his website below... And for some bonus content on some of Ben's biggest influences and his love/hate relationship with reels, stick around after the outro!
