With a new album about to be released, tentatively titled Present & Talkative, Jarrod Harris is building a new stand-up routine. “I’ve done so many different things in comedy,” he says. “Sometimes I’ll do a character the entire show.” Lately he’s been talking to audiences about one of his offstage interests: conspiracy theories. “It’s an extension of my own personality, but I really think a lot about everything that’s going on in the world and our government especially,” he says. “I think I’m trying to channel my own paranoia into my stand-up. Some of it is over-the-top.”
