Ben - Stand-up Comedian

from What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith Hosted by Charlie MacKeith

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! All the links you need are on Ben's Linktree here: benpope | Twitter, Instagram | Linktree And he's on Insta here: Ben Pope (@popesbenedict) • Instagram photos and videos And for some bonus content on some of Ben's biggest influences and his love/hate relationship with reels, stick around after the outro! Please like, subscribe and share WDYD? far and wide, we’d appreciate it so much: https://linktr.ee/wdyd_podcast Music by Joe Greaney: https://soundcloud.com/joegreaney Graphics by LUKE.TYPE: https://luketype.com/
