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.

Nominated for Best Show at The Ish Edinburgh Comedy Award and Top 10 Jokes of The Fringe 2024 – The Telegraph. 

‘Modern observational storytelling at its best’ – On The Mic

‘Stachini is hilarious… He has the ability to sweep you up into his tall tales and work in some seriously funny quips’ – Entertainment Now 

‘A perfect show for anyone who wants to laugh will tick every box for comedy fan. Not to be missed’ – Pepper & Salt

‘A comically tight show’  – Edinburgh Festival Mag

Amassed millions of views across his social media with his stand-up clips. and his first podcast series, The Staff Room Podcast (where teachers share their anonymous stories from the classroom) was nominated for Best Comedy at The British Podcast Awards. 

After a successful and extensively extended tour of his 2022 show Stretch and Think (which you can catch in full on YouTube), he’s back on the road with this new show.

The story covers subjects ranging from pantomimes to dreams, how to behave in hospitals, small talk, realising his Mum is a northern version of Columbo, and how being a smart-mouthed kid saved him from a life of continually being beaten up.

Above all else, it’s the Justin you have to come to expect. It’s funny and interesting, and perhaps there’s a little bit that warms the soul, too.
