Description
Award-winning San Francisco author, filmmaker, and comedic performer Harmon Leon brings you his new show, Who Killed Smile Time. Harmon didn’t travel this far to bring you ordinary comedy.Direct from this year’s Edinburgh Festival in Scotland and the Adelaide Festival in Australia, take Harmon’s hand as he examines all things ironic and all things NOT ironic. (That’s a lot of ground to cover.)
Harmon Leon knows irony. This is a man who has made a name for himself by adopting clever personas and disguises and infiltrating such TV shows as Blind Date, The Judge Joe Brown Show, Whammy, and Penn & Teller’s Showtime series:

They say people don’t understand irony. In this ironic age we live in, Harmon Leon dissects the incongruity between the intended meaning of things and the real actual perceived meaning of things: ironic music, ironic T-shirts, ironic romances, ironic breakups, ironic chimps wearing people clothes. In the end, you’ll look at the entire world and contemplate whether it’s ironic or NOT ironic.
Harmon Leon is the author of 6 books, including National Lampoon’s Roadtrip USA. Maybe you’ve read Harmon’s columns on Huffington Post.
His other writing can be found in Esquire, Playboy, Maxim and Huffington Post. He has appeared on the Howard Stern Show, Last Call with Carson Daly, Penn & Teller’s Bullshit, and Spike TV’s 1000 Ways to Die. He’s performed at the Montreal, Edinburgh, Vancouver, and Melbourne Comedy Festivals.

“A comedy force to be reckoned with” -- *****Edinburgh List
“Leon constantly tweaks us onto how amazingly anything or anything is ironic, or not ironic and manages to keep his audience in stitches of laughter” *****The Scotsman
