Bio & Resume

“Ian Harvie is on a mission. Sure, the Transgender stand-up comic wants to make audiences laugh, but only if s/he can humanize Trans people at the same time..”
                        
– San Francisco Bay Times

Los Angeles based, Transgendered, Standup Comedian, Ian Harvie shares his keen wit with observations about life, family, relationships, and even his fears of public restrooms. No matter how you identify your own sexuality, Ian’s humor will quickly help you feel like family. You can bust-a-gut watching him on Logo’s OutLaugh on Wisecrack; or live in theaters on tour with the notorious, Margaret Cho. Ian has performed off-Broadway in Margaret Cho’s: The Sensuous Woman, a burlesque, comedy revue.

He also has his own, all-queer, live comedy/talk show in Los Angeles titled The Ian Harvie Show. Ian has interviewed guests: Actor/Performer Alan Cumming, Actress Jorja Fox; and award winning Adult Film Star and trans-man, Buck Angel and many other talented other performers!
