Local open mic favorite and nerd Ben Tolkin. Photo by Amelia Trainer.
Ben Tolkin lives and works in Cambridge, which is a great place to be a nerd and a terrible place to be insecure. He has competed at CUPSI and NPS and had a poem engraved into a Cambridge sidewalk slab and once won a prize for pretending to be a scientist. These days, he really enjoy fonts, old maps, the Internet, obscure historical figures, and writing about same.
This show in our weekly Wednesday series takes place at the Cantab Lounge, 738 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge. Doors for the show open at 7:15. The open mic begins at 8:00 and the feature performs at approximately 10:00. The show is 18+ (ID required) and the cover charge is $3.
