About the show
Ben's Book Club is a comedy and discussion show by Mirador Talent Group at Studio Three. Hosted by Ben Pope — a bookseller and comedian — the show works as a genuine book club: Ben picks a book, reads it alongside two comedian guests, and the three discuss it together. Three different books are covered over three days. You don't have to have read the book to enjoy the show, though it helps. Running 60 minutes, with audience participation, it is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A fresh format that brings the comfort of a book club to the Fringe stage — two comedians and a bookseller genuinely talking about literature. Low barrier, high reward, especially if you've read the book.
