GBA 92 Ben Target

In GBA 92 we get better acquainted with Ben Target. He talks about being enigmatic, stand up comedy, creativity, family history, observing from the outside and more. http://vimeo.com/49831059 The conversation takes place upstairs in a central London pub as a comedy gig (a London showing of Lou Sanders http://lousanders.com/ Edinburgh show) is set up around us and features cameos from Lou and others. Ben Target is a really brilliant "upcoming" comedian and so this is the perfect setting to capture a conversation with him. Ben will be performing at the first Stand Up Tragedy of 2013 on Friday 18th January at the Hackney Attic. It will be a great show: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/ http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/show-1-18th-january-2013/ http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Hackney_Picturehouse/film/Stand_Up_Tragedy/ https://www.facebook.com/events/232685033529087/ Ben Plugs: http://plebtalks.com/ 2013 - Discover Ben Target: Upcoming gigs including one with Nick Sun on 25th Jan: http://www.chortle.co.uk/comics/b/33760/ben_target http://bentarget.com/ http://twitter.com/BenTarget Mentioned: John Kearns: http://www.thatjohnkearns.co.uk/ Stand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/ Lou Sanders: http://lousanders.com/ WTF with Marc Maron: http://www.wtfpod.com/ Tangentially Speaking episode that talks about Flamenco: http://feralaudio.com/3-tao-ruspoli/ Stewart Lee: http://www.stewartlee.co.uk/ Demeteri Martin: http://www.demetrimartin.com/ Nick Sun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Sun Kim Noble: http://www.mrkimnoble.com Andy Kaufman: http://andykaufman.jvlnet.com/core.htm George Carlin: http://www.georgecarlin.com/ Milton Jones: http://www.miltonjones.com/ Tony Law: http://www.mrtonylaw.com/ You can hear Getting Better Acquainted on Stitcher SmartRadio, Stitcher allows you to listen to your favourite shows directly from your iPhone, Android Phone, Kindle Fire and beyond.
