Ben Jammin's Bartending

When Ben isn't bartending, he gives voice lessons and teaches comedy and acting classes.

After a long and successful career producing theatre in Santa Cruz., Ben decided that private bartending would be a fun and lucrative way to subsidize his artistic endeavors. A performance-arts educator, voice teacher, and professional actor, Ben Jammin moved from California in 2021 to relocate his services to the Greater Tulsa Area. Ben Jammin's organization and performance skills, along with his

early experience as a waiter, makes him the perfect fit for the hospitality and beverage industry. Having taught the children of highly-educated professionals, he has learned how to balance both the egos of parents and children alike (whilst keeping an eye on the big picture as well as the bottom line}. A freelance entrepreneur, he is also happy to "make someone's day" through his Singing Telegram Services. Ben has appeared in numerous productions with Cabrillo Stage Professional Musical Theatre and has produced dozens of full-scale productions in the greater Santa Cruz community Classically trained, Ben enjoys passing-down the art of live-performance.

"Since I received my Certificate of Mixology in 2015, I'm having a blast bartending for weddings and private parties. From California to Oklahoma, I really enjoy expanding my knowledge of mixology, and love my new part-time career!"

When I arrived in Tulsa three years ago, one of my first mobile-bartending gigs was for a family in Sperry. The birthday mama, Jane wanted a M*A*S*H themed party and I bought a camouflage outfit just for the occasion. All her guests warmly welcomed me to this great state, and so began my journey of passing-out business cards to everyone under the sun, in order to promote my dream of establishing my brand of children's theatre in Tulsa

Fast forward three years and the birthday girl reaches-out to see if I'm available to bartend a Derby Party for her! With the recent success of my new non-profit, it really feels like I have come full circle!

Even more cool, my client has since moved from Sperry to Maple Ridge (only two minutes away). This is significant because I've been wanting to generate business in my own neighborhood since moving here! It was great to reconnect and see many of the same faces I met when I first moved here!

I got to bartend a wedding and reception last night at Tulsa's historic 100 year-old, Dresser Mansion on Riverside. It's only about a mile from my studio in Maple Ridge!

When I got there I was astonished to see another historical building erected directly behind the mansion, Tulsa's famous round tower: the University Club Building! Built in 1966, it was the first skyscraper ever to be designed with the aid of a computer. The apartments are in the shape of pie slices!

As you can see I had a great view of it that night from the bar on the back patio. Bartending weddings is fun: love is in the air and everybody is your friend by the end of the night! Sweet couple. ❤ Nice crowd. 🍾 Good work if you can get it. 😉

Six months ago I was CHILLIN' in Sperry OK and bartending for a MASH-themed birthday celebration... I was hired by the daughter of the birthday-mom (a dedicated fan of the show).

Not having seen the series since the 70s, I reacquainted myself before the party by watching a few episodes online. Despite the numerous sexual-innuendos that would fall-short of humor for much of today's woke culture, Alan Alda as Hawkeye Pierce was clearly at the top of his game; and much of the writing combined profound themes with tremendous heart.

Sperry Oklahoma (where I was) is a remote upper-end suburb next to a pictorial lake about 30 minutes north of Tulsa. The hosts' home was spacious and the festivities were held on a side-patio, festooned with camouflage and a pair of PINK NEON LIPS (in homage of the beloved character, Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan).
I invested in a camo shirt and hat; I thought it'd be fun to ROCK the theme – not to mention green is good on me and a needed compliment for my wardrobe. As the sun set behind the lake I prepared the bar, and served wine and beer to around 40 guests – as well as champagne, White Claw, and the evening's signature drink, “The MASH Martini.”

Outside of Tulsa's city-limits, the majority of folks in Oklahoma are conservative, and often get a bum-rap in the media as being bigoted or out of touch. I feel this to be an unfair characterization as nothing could be further from the truth. Everyone I had the pleasure of meeting that night was overwhelmingly friendly, open-minded, and kind.

As I was serving drinks, I also distributed dog-tags to the guests (costume-jewelry), while having several interesting conversations and making new friends (many of whom took my business card for future bartending and singing-telegram gigs).

Towards the end of the evening I secured my status as legend with my rendition of "Su***de is Painless" (the MASH theme song), and the daughter who'd found and hired me, showed her appreciation with a 5-star review and VERY GENEROUS gratuity!
