Comedian Ben Gleib cuts through with original voice

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Any responsible comedy consumer knows there’s no such thing as an unknown comedian. If you’ve never heard of the headliner at your local club, Bing him or her. If you’ve never heard of Bing, then go Ask Jeeves. There’s a world of information and video at the palms of your fingers. It’s quite possible comic Ben Gleib falls into this category for you, unless you were a regular viewer of Chelsea Lately or the Game Show Network, where he hosts Idiotest. But check out some video of his standup online. He’s got an original voice. His bit on spiders is enough to see why Esquire named him one of “the six comedians who could be comedy’s next big things” (we learned that from the Bing machine, too). If you like what you find on your computer, go see him live at the Comedy MIX from Thursday to Saturday (May 12 to 14). As a special bonus, Dino Archie will be the emcee. Levi McCachen middles.
