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.

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:
