I’ve gotten busy enough that I now need help with certain aspects of this site. So if you’re a reader, and in college, and looking to beef up your resume without getting paid, I’d love to consider you for an internship. I imagine this to be a 5-10 hour weekly commitment.
Marketing and PR Internship at Big Ben Comedy:
Big Ben Comedy is looking for a marketing and public relations intern. We are a small company so this is an opportunity to have a lot of responsibility and leeway.

In addition to standard event invites, you will be given the independence to come up with unique ways of promoting shows.
Big Ben Comedy also interviews headlining comedians on how they use technology for the BigBenComedy website, and wants to get these interviews out to a larger audience.
