BEN POWELL: EX-POLITICIAN
Ben Powell was elected as a Local Councillor aged 23, with a determination to change the face of the political establishment forever.
Now a washed up ex-politician at 28, it’s safe to say that he failed. Fresh from the Alternative Reality Tour with Josie Long, Grace Petrie & Co,
he tells the story of his journey from committee meetings to comedy clubs and the existential crisis that led him there.
