Anyone familiar with Owen Benjamin?
I've watched some of his standup and it's pretty good. Beyond that, he's either a kook who actually believes in flat-earth and other conspiracies, or his rants are a Kaufmanesque troll.

Familiar mainly in a second hand way, through Joe Rogan, Crowder, Stern I believe, others. OB seems to have crossed more than a few lines I gather, he seems marginally stable on his pod casts. I'll be interested to see other replies, Benjamin may be doing the work others won't or he's nuts. I think he may have some value but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

I’m only familiar with him in the context of his work on Louder With Crowder. I’ve enjoyed him there but haven’t sought him out anywhere else.

I could get onboard with a lot of his early stuff....then he sorta seemed to go off the rails a bit.
Still, though, some EPIC rants.

Yeah, only know him from Crowder.

So, I guess he got blacklisted because he spoke out against letting 3 year old kids be trans, in ~2017.

This explains a lot:
