Mike meets Ben Schofield

Mike meets Ben Schofield

Here's me and comedian Ben Schofield.

Prior to his performance in Hull, Ben Schofield spoke to me down the phone.

I spoke to him about his current show which is called "Don't Panic" (no connection to Dad's army) as it's about peoples fears and phobias, Ben admitted to me that he was affraid of the dark, not something any big hairy bloke should admit!! We chatted about his fellow comic Jerry Sadowitz who he supported a while ago, and how watching comics on the TV in the 80's influenced him into making people laugh. As Ben has long hair I asked him which shampoo he uses, I also asked him about his favourite cheese, It was Timotei and Jarlsberg - if your interested!

Ben hails from Bradford but is currently based in Manchester. After the show had finished I legged it to Ben's show at Durty Nellies in Hull.
