Harry loves making people laugh through cartoons and stand-up but can't pick which one he loves more. This comedy show will cover topics from "the best way to catch a spider" to "Koreans are getting younger" both in cartoon and stand-up formats.
Watermelon Licking explores Korean and Australian culture, fitting in and "licking the outside of a watermelon", which is Harry's favourite Korean saying meaning "scratching the surface".
It is a cross media interactive show, part stand-up comedy, part animated characters who are embedded into the show.
