Former UTB EIC Finally Achieves The (Internet) Fame He Deserves

For those of you in the Class of '18 or earlier, SURELY you remember the prolific (former) UTB EIC and (current) world-renowned artist, Ben Lerner. He did a lot of stuff during his time at Penn: He was A-Gut's No. 1 fan, king (queen?) of any and all things pop culture, and he also once wore sensual nipple tassles during his stint in last year's production of Gypsy – a role which ultimately earned him a Tony nomination.

So, it's really no surprise that recently, Ben made it onto Mashable for his most recent role, Drunk Guy Trying To Sleep On An Empty Subway And Falling Dramatically. If this isn't a true reminder of why we do what we do, then we don't know what is. 

Ben, we salute you! THIS is what being a Penn grad and living in New York is all about. Namaste.
