"Ben Lerman’s best asset is his stage persona... His deadpan delivery is so damn funny!"
—Time Out Chicago

"Sick and twisted ukulele comedy"
—The Bastion.org, Chicago

"He’s funny, he’s gay, and he’s coming to rock your world!"
—The Riverfront Times, St. Louis

A cross between Weird Al, Big Gay Al, and Al Jarreau, Ben Lerman is a gay singer-songwriter, comedian, writer, and videographer, originally from South Bend, Indiana. He moved to New York in 1998, landing in the welcoming bosom of the city’s insane restaurant industry, which soon turned on him. Fortunately, he had a back up plan: gay comedy rock stardom! That worked out for a while, with a band called the Isotoners, for which he wrote, played keyboards and bass, and sang. For three years the Isotoners played around New York, honing themselves musically and satirically to the point where the Village Voice put them on the cover of their "Best of New York 2004" music section with a full-page photo. But not even a gig at the CMJ festival could keep the band together in the end, so Ben learned to play the ukulele and ventured out on his own. He’s been playing solo gigs since 2006.

In 2005 he began making videos like every other asshole on the internet. But his are better.

Ben hopes to one day appear on a very special episode of Dante’s Cove as a guest-bear in a supporting role. If you are the CEO of Time Warner and can make this dream come true, please send him a friend request.
