Brattleboro Comedy Duo Performs Benefit for Local Radio Station
Brattleboro comedians Jay Gelter and Ben Stockman are taking their radio show,REAL PEOPLE with Jay and Ben, out of the recording studio and onto the stage on April 24, 8:00 pm at the Hooker Dunham Theater in Brattleboro, VT to benefit Brattleboro Community Radio.
Inspired by comedy podcasts like Comedy Bang! Bang! and The Dead Author’s Podcast, the show features Gelter and Stockman interviewing the “real people” of Brattleboro, who aren’t real at all, but rather one of them or a special guest playing a bizarre character in a weekly improv tour-de-force. The show airs every Thursday at 10 pm on WVEW-LP 107.7 FM and is posted as a podcast the next day on their website and iTunes.
Gelter and Stockman only started their comedy show at the beginning of the year, but the audience response has been astounding. So much so that the comedy duo has been asked to perform the show live at the Green Mountain Comedy Festival in Burlington this May.
In an effort to thank Brattleboro Community Radio for their support, Gelter and Stockman will be donating all the proceeds from the April show to the radio station. Brattleboro Community Radio relies on donations to stay on the air, so come support a wonderful institution and have a few laughs while you’re at it.

Great idea
One of the many new-ish shows I enjoy on WVEW. Great idea to take it on the road, er… downstairs.
If you haven’t listened in a while, and are getting bored by NPR and commercial stations, set your dial to 107.7 for a while. You will find a show (or many) that you like.
If this show isn’t a live remote broadcast, I hope that someone records it and plays it back on air sometime afterward.
