b'In GBA 92 we get better acquainted with Ben Target. He talks about being enigmatic, stand up comedy, creativity, family history, observing from the outside and more. \\n\\nhttp://vimeo.com/49831059\\n\\nThe conversation takes place upstairs in a central London pub as a comedy gig (a London showing of Lou Sanders http://lousanders.com/ Edinburgh show) is set up around us and features cameos from Lou and others. Ben Target is a really brilliant "upcoming" comedian and so this is the perfect setting to capture a conversation with him.\\n\\nBen will be performing at the first Stand Up Tragedy of 2013 on Friday 18th January at the Hackney Attic. It will be a great show:\\n\\nhttp://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/\\n\\nhttp://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/show-1-18th-january-2013/\\n\\nhttp://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Hackney_Picturehouse/film/Stand_Up_Tragedy/\\n\\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/232685033529087/\\n\\n\\nBen Plugs:\\n\\nhttp://plebtalks.com/\\n\\n2013 - Discover Ben Target: Upcoming gigs including one with Nick Sun on 25th Jan: http://www.chortle.co.uk/comics/b/33760/ben_target\\n\\nhttp://bentarget.com/\\n\\nhttp://twitter.com/BenTarget\\n\\n\\n\\nMentioned:\\n\\nJohn Kearns: http://www.thatjohnkearns.co.uk/\\n\\nStand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/\\n\\nLou Sanders: http://lousanders.com/\\n\\nWTF with Marc Maron: http://www.wtfpod.com/\\n\\nTangentially Speaking episode that talks about Flamenco: http://feralaudio.com/3-tao-ruspoli/\\n\\nStewart Lee: http://www.stewartlee.co.uk/\\n\\nDemeteri Martin: http://www.demetrimartin.com/\\n\\nNick Sun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Sun\\n\\nKim Noble: http://www.mrkimnoble.com\\n\\nAndy Kaufman: http://andykaufman.jvlnet.com/core.htm\\n\\nGeorge Carlin: http://www.georgecarlin.com/\\n\\nMilton Jones: http://www.miltonjones.com/\\n\\nTony Law: http://www.mrtonylaw.com/\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nYou can hear Getting Better Acquainted on Stitcher SmartRadio, Stitcher allows you to listen to your favourite shows directly from your iPhone, Android Phone, Kindle Fire and beyond.\\n\\nOn-demand and on the go!\\n\\nDon\\u2019t have Stitcher?
