Discography

If the Flight of the Conchords and Stephen Lynch had a gay lovechild, it would be NYC's ukulele comedian Ben Lerman. Lerman is a rising star of the New York Comedy scene, playing at all the top New York Comedy clubs and theaters like Caroline's, Gotham, Comix, and The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. 


Ben tours internationally playing theaters and festivals. His career has been propelled by appearances on Logo TV, Here TV, and Sirius Satellite Radio, where he is recurring guest on the Frank DeCaro Show. Ben has become a regular guest on "Keith & the Girl," the most popular independent podcast in the world with more than a million downloads per month. In 2010, podcast fans voted him "Best New Guest" from among a pool of other amazing comedians like Marc Maron and Ted Alexandro.


Armed with his wee ukulele, powerful voice, and twisted point of view, Ben gets huge laughs because his songs have real emotion behind them. From a pirate love story to a lullaby for crazy people, Ben's songs point to the humor in all of our lives and relationships, and in the world around us. His affable nature and playful wit have made his live show a perennial hit in Chicago, as Time Out Chicago raved, "Lerman's stage presence is his best asset."
