Performance at UNC Dance Marathon

Ben was really entertaining and incredibly easy to work with. He came at 3:45 AM (yes, A.M.!) to do a stand up show at UNC Dance Marathon, a 24 hour event that raises money to benefit the patients and families of NC Children's Hospital. Ben actually contacted me the day before the event, and because we had some open slots and no other comedians on the line-up, I thought I would give him a try. Ben performed in front of ~700 college students and the feedback that I received of his performance was positive. I will be adding him to our database so that he can be contacted for this annual event in the future.
