About this Event
1 Park Place, Athens, Ohio 45701
Comedy show featuring Ben Palmer. Ben first started writing humor online via a Myspace blog when he was 19. At 21, he performed his first stand-up comedy set at Funny Stop Comedy Club in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He continued to do stand-up comedy and became a regular at the best comedy clubs and independent shows in Atlanta, Georgia. It was in Atlanta where he fused his two passions of humor writing and stand-up comedy into a live show. The show features his trolling of hateful trolls on corporate Facebook pages, posing as a city government to air sarcastic gripes about bureaucracy, making up fake cases to get on court TV, and pretending to be a journalist to get reactions from billionaire CEOs and unethical multilevel marketing companies.
Ben's show was featured at Comedy Central Stage in Los Angeles and was at San Francisco Sketchfest for three consecutive years. His work has gone viral countless times and has been picked up by Snopes
, USA Today
, Buzzfeed
, Yahoo
, and NPR. His videos collectively have over 400 million views.
