SEPTEMBER 2-6 www.MySpace.com/OwenBenjamin

It’s a measure of the shifting performance--and online--landscape that you’ve probably seen some aspect of Owen Benjamin’s comedy material even if you’ve never set foot in a club where he was appearing. That is, Benjamin has created a slew of popular and acclaimed short video pieces--some placed on the home page of little sites you may have heard of: YouTube, MySpace--that have been seen online, by one reckoning, by more than 10 million people, and counting. But he’s doing pretty darn well in the flesh, too. For instance, he’s making steady inroads in the comedy film world, having landed a modest role in the Adam Sandler-Kevin James flick, “I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry,” followed by “a larger role in “The House Bunny,” starring Amma Faris and produced by Sandler’s company. His other credits include working as a cast member/ hijinks henchman on “Punk’d” and multiple appearances on “The Chelsea Handler Show.” And we haven’t even touched on the music thing: His father is an opera singer, Benjamin spent his formative years playing classical piano, and within his comedy career, he’s shared a bill with Julio Iglesias on one of the latter’s full-blown theatre tours. This week at Cap City he’ll appear With Eric Nigg.
