Come and see Harry Stachini as he outgrows yet another shell — and brings you along for the ride.

With millions of views across social media and a reputation for his warm, easy-going stage presence, Harry has fast become one of the most in-demand comedians on the circuit today. Critics praised Grenade as “Modern observational storytelling at its best” (On The Mic), “Comically tight with relentless pace and quick delivery” (Ed Fest Mag ★★★★), and “An absolute blast” (The Reviews Hub ★★★★).

Now, after another sell-out Fringe in 2025, Harry is ready to shed his shell again. Because that’s what Lobster is all about — change. Lobsters grow by breaking out of their hard shells, hiding away while a new one forms. It’s vulnerable, uncomfortable, a bit of a mess… and completely unavoidable. Over the past few years, Harry and his family have had to change shells more than once. From moving to a “up-and-coming” postcode, to travelling the world, falling in love, becoming housemates with his own dad, and navigating puberty in 2025, Lobster dives into life’s inevitable transformations with honesty, heart, and relentless laughs.

Already earning a 4½-star review and called “British comedy at its best” (One4Review ★★★★½), Lobster is packed with the sharp observational storytelling, likeability, and non-stop jokes that have made Harry a favourite of audiences across the UK and beyond.

A regular at The Comedy Store and top clubs nationwide, Harry has also taken his comedy global, headlining The Laughter Factory in Dubai and The Comedy Lounge in Perth, and touring the Adelaide, Melbourne, and Brisbane Comedy Festivals as part of Mary Tobin Presents: Best of the Edinburgh Festival 2025.
