The Jokes Saved My Soul on New York City: Get Tickets Now!

About This Show

A hit at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland: Through happy times. Through sad times. With friends. With enemies. With strangers. ‘The Jokes’ have always been there for Harmon (This American Life, Vice, The New Yorker).

A multimedia extravaganza and nod to Samuel Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape – Harmon dives deep into his love/hate relationship with the world of comedy. After living through the pandemic followed by trauma and death, in the end, what saved Harmon’s soul, is: ‘The Jokes.’

Harmon Leon has performed his comedy shows around their world, including The Kennedy Center, Edinburgh Festival, Montreal’s Just for Laughs, SF Sketchfest, and the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
