Are you laughing yet? If not, tickle yourself. Or tell yourself your favorite joke, and pretend you haven't heard it before. Or picture a duck wearing a business suit. I can't have all the pressure for making this email funny only on my shoulders. You need to carry some of the weight here!
If you are not laughing yet, don't worry, this entertaining-and-very-short-don't-click-away-yet email is almost over. (And if you get to the end, you get to see a photo I took of a bird in the middle of a donut hole.)
Just wanted to let you know three quick things...
1.
AUSTIN! I'm performing just one show, one night only in
Austin, Texas on
Friday, Feb 6th at 7pm at the incredible venue the Vulcan Gas Co. in downtown Austin. It's where Joe Rogan and Kill Tony did their shows before the Mothership opened. I rarely perform in Texas, so you should get your tickets now.
AUSTIN SHOW TICKETS HERE.
2. NATIONAL TV TONIGHT! Tonight on CBS and Paramount+ right after Colbert, I'm on Comics Unleashed! The show just came back after many years off the air, and crazily 11 years after my first appearance. 12:35am in most markets. Let me know what you think!
3.
FREE CROWD WORK SPECIAL! IF you didn't see it yet, check out my brand new all improvised crowd work special, I just dropped on YouTube as a surprise.
"Ben Gleib: Happy New Year".
WATCH IT HERE.
Oh, one more thing! I just wanted to let you know I’ve been working around the clock for many months now on a very, very large thing I will be letting you all know about soon, and it will bring you lots of entertainment for years to come. I can’t wait to announce it officially.
I hope your 2026 is off to a grandiose start. If not, pretend tomorrow is a new year and start again then. (It's amazing how helpful delusion can be.)
Okay, you're free to stop laughing now and get back to your regularly scheduled day.
