Dennis Has A Podcast

Ben Rosenfeld is a totally normal sized dude, so my first question for him was why he is Big Ben Comedy across all his platforms. He tackles my question in stride and chats about moving to the States from Russia as a kid, leaving a stable career to pursue comedy, his new book and so much more! You can learn more about Ben's book Russian Optimism at RussianOptimism.com. You can also learn more about Ben at BigBenComedy.com!
