New Book!




Hey everyone. My first book was just released! Well, second if you count the basic clown book that I wrote in 2nd grade.

It is entitled "Juggling Ministry Routines" and contains 11 Bible based routines complete with references and additional thoughts. I would like to say a special thanks to Del Wilson for an idea accompanying a routine I wrote around the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Another thanks goes out to my parents for encouragement and letting me run countless ideas past them.

If you are interested in a copy you can get it off the online store. www.BenComedy.com/product

Cloquet Road Trip


I hit the road last Wednesday to start a long journey to Cloquet, MN. It is only about 4 hours from where I live, however there were a lot of stops along the way.

Wednesday night I was able to hang out with DonB! and Mike Norton. They both are local entertainers who travel and perform all over the place.

Thursday I made my way up to Two Harbors, MN to hang out with my old roommate, Addison Houle. Incidentally Two Harbors is an hour past Cloquet, but it was a good excuse to visit. Friday night we went rock climbing. It was a blast, but since I'm not used to it my forearms and hands were really sore the next day. Furthermore that happened to be the day of my first program.

I shortened my practice session before the program and made sure to get in some extra stretching. I was still a little worried that I would not be too sharp in the juggling area. Once I walked on stage the adrenaline kicked in and the show went great... so did the juggling.

Thanks to everyone in Cloquet! It was a blast!
