Harry has been a Comedy Cow regular for a few years now- lets hear what he has to say....
My name is Harry Stachini. I'm a stand-up comedian, writer and actor. I first started to really perform stand up comedy in 2014 and did my first ever gig at Hot Water Comedy Club in Liverpool (which at the time was a room above a pub). Since then I've been a finalist in various new act competitions such as Liverpool Comedian of The Year 2015 and Nando's Comedian of the Year in 2014, where the grand prize was £300 worth of chicken - I came 3rd, won £100 and believe it or not the winner was a vegetarian. For a while that £100 worth of chicken was the most I earned from comedy...
Since then I've performed for comedy clubs all over the UK. During 2017, I was given the opportunity to host the prestigious Bound and Gagged Comedy ‘AAA’ Comedy Showcase at the Edinburgh Festival in Pleasance Courtyard. This was a lot better than a gig I did in an ice cream parlour in Leicester, where there were more flavours than people.
Alongside performing stand up comedy, I worked in television as a production assistant for a while. Other than comedy that’s the most fun I’ve ever had working in a "real job" and I found a real passion for filmmaking. In 2017 I wrote, performed and produced (with the help of my unbelievably talented crew) a comedy web series called 'Howard' which was released on Facebook & YouTube.
To put it simply: I write comedy, I perform comedy and I make comedy films, in an effort to try and make something happen so that one day I can look back upon that gig in the Ice cream parlour and say "That was definitely worth it".
