We had the good fortune of connecting with Del Harrison and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Del, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
Following up! Following appears easy but it’s only easy when the person is receptive and is like “now, make sure you call me on this day.” The following up that counts is when the person on the other end sounds busy and you’re their last priority. However, when they hear you’re your own priority and that you’re respectful, firm and polite, things turn around in your favor.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart from others is that I am not waiting to be discovered. I have already discovered myself. Through the power of “never giving up,” I have birthed a new skill almost every year in my standup comedy career: from sets, to featuring to headlining to hosting to producing to writing sketches to filming sketches to running the productions to writing pilots to pitching pilots to booking tv and film to writing songs to singing songs to forming a band to placing music in film to improv to acting in commercials, tv and film to booking voice overs.

I’ve learned that I am the business and I reinvest every dollar back into the business to continuously expand and yield higher dividends.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
When my best friend visited, we had to walk the walk of fame and sit and have drinks on the Boulevard. Then we hit it to Beverly Hills for some fancy italian food. Then we had to hit up Sofitel for the live music on Mondays. The Tuesday Eclectic Jazz Night on Wilcox is cool too.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shout out to my team at Luis Reyes and my whole team at Butcher Bird Studios. They have believed in me and stepped up to the plate to take my projects from deck to a full on packaged production.
