I went to see Ben live the other day. He’s got my favorite stage presence of all time. It felt like you were just sitting there hanging out

100% agree. I've seen him at least 10 times now and he always makes it unique. He talks about the songs, he engages with the audience, and tries new things.

Last show of his that I saw was a paper airplane show where people threw requests on stage via paper airplane.

He did one back when chat roulette was big and he streamed the show on there and projected the video onto a big screen behind him. We saw far fewer penises than you'd expect and he composed songs on the fly for chatters who stuck around.

I’ve always seen the recordings of his songs he makes up on the fly but have yet to catch one myself. I heard he’s kind of gotten tired of doing them (which, fair, I imagine it’s a lot of work) but still, would love to catch one
