Based in his hometown of Minneapolis, Harris recently won 2017’s Minnesota’s Funniest Person Contest.

He also recently produced and hosted a hip variety and talk show entitled, “Vaudeville Remix” for three seasons. That show features some of the best acts in the region and its final season took place at the Brave New Workshop ETC Theatre in downtown Minneapolis.
