He competed on Last Comic Standing in 2014,[1] and has performed on The Late Show With David Letterman and Comedy Central's Live at Gotham.[2] Star Tribune critic Jay Boller wrote that Harmston combines "the cadence of Brian Regan and the observational absurdism of Jim Gaffigan."[3] He has released two albums on Stand Up! Records, The Most Bees Ever and The Whim of Tim.
