Jarrod Harris is an oddly comfortable mix of trailer–park filth, comic angst and hipster irony. While his style may fit into several categories along the comedy spectrum, his clever writing only fits into one. Jarrod Harris has performed at premier comedy clubs across the US including the World Famous Improv Comedy Clubs, Punchline, Side Splitters and he has been featured on TBS’ “Lopez Tonight”, Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” and has received recognition for his comedy work with San Francisco Comedy Competition Top 4 Finalist, 2010 Detroit Comedy Festival “Best of Fest” Selection, Host of the 2010/2011 Laughing Skull Festival and Campus Activities Magazine Top Comics to Watch for 2010. Jarrod was also the former voice and writer for the Jungle character on “Action Figure Therapy” series receiving over 30 million views. He was featured on the “Holy Fuck” album in 2013, and the LOL Comedy Festival 2014 held in Santa Barbara, CA which was filmed and released on Hulu. Late 2014, he will finally be releasing his first album after 12 years of stand-up comedy with Rooftop Records entitled, “Present And Talkative.”
Jarrod Harris is currently hard at work as the creator and voice of his latest brainchild. He has introduced a new type of American Action Figure Hero to web series viewers with Ricky Erlando, title character of “The Ricky Erlando Show”. Launched in September 2014, “The Ricky Erlando Show” follows the adventures of Ricky along with his sidekick pet Croc-A-Doodle (yes, a combination crocodile and poodle) as they travel the globe battling world injustice, villains, tackling socially conscious issues and picking up hot babes along the way. Ricky Erlando is the most American- American in America, one man fighting the new world order. Viewers follow Ricky’s personal sexcapades and general hell raising as he pokes fun at recent news stories, political figures and media organizations from his libertarian leaning perspective. If Bo and Luke Duke had a cousin who was placed in a corrupt foster care system at two years old and came out a bad ass with a van, endless supply of moon pies and a sex addiction, it would be Ricky Erlando. The weekly web series features episodes such as “Ricky Erlando vs the Prius Owner”, “Ricky Erlando Explains The Iraq War” and “World Cup Soccer” in which Ricky takes an actual skype viewer question and answers in only a way that Ricky can.

Organic is a comedy tour and documentary featuring comedians Jarrod Harris and Ryan Singer traveling around the country in Jarrod’s RV. Over the past few years, vibrant organic comedy scenes have sprung up all around the country and have been the life support system for comedians like Jarrod and Ryan that have one foot in the mainstream rooms and the other firmly planted in the alternative scene. These scenes are all uniquely driven by the love of stand up comedy by the comedians who live there. This tour will showcase the freedom of the art form these venues allow and the people who have unwittingly created a place for comedians to come into their own before breaking through to the next level like Jarrod and Ryan. This will be funny, weird, experimental, and most of all – organic.
Over 20 million people have seen Jarrod’s popular Action Figure Therapy characters and most recently the series was named LA Weekly’s “Top Comic To Watch in 2012.” His character Jungle was also featured on the front page of the Huffington Post Comedy section in 2011. Jarrod has also been seen on TBS’ Lopez Tonight and Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham.

Ryan Singer is the rarest of breeds: a comic’s comic that electrifies mainstream audiences with material that is both uncompromising and unpretentious. His debut album HOW TO GET HIGH WITHOUT DRUGS was selected as a Top 10 Album of 2010 by Punchline Magazine (now Laughspin) and his sophomore release COMEDY WONDER TOWN debuted in the Top 20 on iTunes. Ryan was recently mentioned in Rolling Stone Magazine as a “Comic Who Should Be Big” and NY Magazine as a “Top 5 Comic to Watch.”
“Ryan Singer is one of my favorite comics to watch. He is bizarrely creative and hilarious. The real deal.” – Marc Maron
