Get Tickets Here!Ben Kronberg’s unique style blends clever one-liners and witty observations with catchy songs that he performs while playing instruments like the guitar, casio-keyboard, and loop-pedal.  Much of his material has been inspired by girlfriends, who are now incidentally ex-girlfriends.  Since his breakout performance in Aspen, Ben has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call with Carson Daly.  Ben has also appeared twice on ABC’s hit game show, Wipeout - one time as a normal contestant, and most recently in the All-Star Episode.  He lost both times, but would still go back for a third helping of pain if asked.  Ben currently resides in Los Angeles where he creates original content for the web and is starring in a stand-up comedy based pilot that is currently in production.  He hopes writing about it doesn’t jinx it.
