The NashvilleStandUp.com Showcase @ Zanies Comedy Showplace – a showcase of the funniest comedians based in the Nashville area, plus guest sets from traveling comics, and Chad Riden’s IRON COMIC comedy competition with jokes written on the spot based on audience suggestions.

Follow and reply to @IronComic to play along at home.

The June 28th show lineup includes: Nashville’s Sean Parrott, Mark Anundson, Brad Edwards and Ali Alsalman. Jarrod Harris will headline the event.

Jarrod Harris is one of the most original comedians coming out of the South. Growing up in an family filled with violence, drug abuse, murder, suicide, abandonment, and homelessness paint a poignant, painful but also hilarious portrait of working class America in the 80s and 90s. Jarrod captures the angst and contradictions of what goes on below the Mason Dixon line and is an authentic comedic voice of the New South.

Noah Gardenswartz of Creative Loafing wrote, “Harris’ act is an oddly comfortable mix of trailer-park filth, comic angst and hipster irony. While his style may fit into several categories along the comedy spectrum, his clever writing only fits into one: funny.”

Jarrod has been on Comedy Central’s “Live At Gotham”, he’s performed on Comedy Death Ray at the UCB in Los Angeles, and is a favorite at the Laughing Skull in Atlanta. Last time Harris was in Nashville was February when he was filming a sold-out show downtown for The Southern Comedy Quartet Tour with Sean Patton, Nate Bargatze and Rory Scovel. Do not miss this chance to see him!

Here’s a funny video clip of Jarrod Harris on Comedy Central:
