ABOUT THE SHOW
Ben Abben
HOST
Host Benjamin Blue Abben has been a local entertainer around our valley for over 10 years, performing standup comedy, and playing in several music projects.
A Southern Oregon native, Ben also spent several years in California and worked as a chef in Orange County, so he knows his good food. He moved back 15 years ago and is happy to call the Rogue Valley home once again. With the recent local affects of wildfires and the pandemic, Ben wanted to do something to help the small businesses who are working so hard to survive. In between cooking, playing music, and telling you a joke, Ben hosts Rogue Eats, Drinks and Lifestyle Show.
