Harry Stachini: GrenadeHarry Stachini: GrenadeHarry Stachini: Grenade
A masterful storyteller with one of the most amiable and easy-going stage presences on the comedy circuit today, Harry Stachini’s latest show, Grenade, examines honesty. Most of us are carrying honesty grenades. Some are small, like farting in a lift and owning up to it. But some are truly massive. Harry’s was medium to large and once he pulled the pin; it destroyed an eight-year relationship, a mortgage and a blue whippet. Relationships, family dynamics and his years spent teaching future serial killers are all brought under the comedy spotlight in this show. Stachini serves up an hour of relatable, honest, and hilarious stand-up, shining a light on the Grenades we all carry.
