Harrison Greenbaum is one of the most in-demand comedic performers in the world, described as "the hardest-working man in comedy" by both Time Out New York and the NY Daily News.

On television, Harrison has been seen by millions on shows such as America's Got Talent, Last Comic Standing, Conan, Sherri, Comedy Central's This Week at the Comedy Cellar, National Geographic Channel's Brain Games, and more.  He's also been a regular guest co-host on StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, as well as the warm-up comic for The Daily Show on Comedy Central.

 

For nearly two years, Harrison starred in Cirque du Soleil’s Mad Apple in Las Vegas as the first (and only) stand-up comedian to ever headline a Cirque du Soleil show, performing a record-setting 650 shows at the NY-NY Hotel & Casino.  Now back in NYC, Harrison recently debuted his solo Off-Broadway show to much critical acclaim, with amNewYork declaring Harrison "either the world's funniest comedian or the world's most magical comedian; either way, his show is a gut-busting, jaw-dropping theatrical rollercoaster ride you don't want to miss!"

 

​Harrison began performing stand-up comedy while studying psychology and English at Harvard, where he was the co-founder of the Harvard College Stand-Up Comic Society (or "Harvard College SUCS," as the group's name is cheekily acronymized), the first organization at Harvard dedicated to the performance and appreciation of stand-up comedy and one still popular on campus today.

​

Moving from Boston to Manhattan (hello Jews!), Harrison quickly rose through the comedy ranks in New York.  One of Comedy Central's "Comics to Watch," Harrison has received awards and honors for his comedy that include the Andy Kaufman Award (2010) for creativity and originality in comedy, the Shorty Award in collaboration with Comedy Central and the New York Comedy Festival for "Best Emerging Comic" (2011), and the Magners Comic Stand-Off (2011).  But perhaps the award Harrison is the most proud of is Tannen's Magic Camp "Camper of the Year," which means two things: (1) Harrison went to Magic Camp and (2) Harrison was a virgin until college.

​

Internationally recognized for his talent, Harrison was the host of The Unbelievables: The World's Greatest Entertainers, which played 22 shows at the Sydney Opera House before commencing a national tour of Australia; was a featured correspondent on the Japanese television show, Scooper, which was broadcast nationally on Nippon TV; and was featured in the documentary, 10 Minutes in America, on France's Canal+. Harrison was also the co-host and featured performer of the official Times Square New Year’s Eve World Wide Webcast in 2010 and 2011, broadcasting live to over 250 million viewers around the globe.

​

Behind the scenes, Harrison was a senior producer for Primetime: Would You Fall for That? on ABC (which premiered in 2013 to over 3.5 million viewers) and story producer for VH1’s This is HOT 97.  He was also the head writer for Tu Nite con Lorenzo Parro, the first-ever late night show on NBCU/Telemundo, a staff writer for Tha God’s Honest Truth with Charlamagne Tha God on Comedy Central, and a long-time freelance writer for MAD Magazine.  And just in case you thought that wasn't enough (I'm sure you didn't), he was also the warm-up comic for Katie, Katie Couric's daytime talk show on ABC.

 

From colleges to comedy clubs, from talk shows to theaters, Harrison is bringing his unique style of comedy to audiences across the country and around the world, proving each night why publications such as amNewYork calls him “one of stand-up comedy’s hottest rising stars” and his mother describes him as "her favorite (and only) son."
