Hey, I'm Ben

'Sup folks,

I'm Ben Masten, and I just moved down here from NYC. I did improv and sketch at the PIT up there for a number of years, which led to me eventually coming to the last few OOBs and sketchfests. Austin charmed the pants off me, and now here I am, full time!

I've met many of you already, and I can't wait to meet more. I'm waiting to figure out classes, shows etc, until I get my real life stuff set up a little more firmly, but you'll probably see me in the audience one place or another pretty soon. I'm pretty tall, laugh really loudly, and sound like the love child of Ray Romano and Kermit the Frog, so I should be pretty easy to pick out.

Hi!

Ben

Hi Ben! Go sign up for Maestro, it's a nice low-pressure way to play with some locals.

Ben's just like all my friends, already!

I am privately rejoicing that the "pair of Spenglers" line from that Maestro landed somewhere.

And thanks everybody!

If you need someone new to write baseball related sketches with, I'm your man. My old timey racist baseball player character from the last ColdTowne sketch show is legendary in my own mind.

Also, I can explain the infield fly rule.

Yay Ben! Glad we won your heart.
