What does Harmony McElligott have in common with Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Pee Wee Herman, Kaitlin Olson, Will Forte and Flo from Progressive? They are all alumni from the famous improvisation and sketch comedy troupe The GROUNDLINGS. When not teaching improv at The Groundlings,  you can find Harmony doing stand-up around L.A., writing sketches for Robot Chicken,  or just freestyle rapping. This dude is incredibly talented, period. Jake & Lenny sit down with Harmony for 90 minutes to pick his brain about the process of professional sketch writing, leveling up at The Groundlings, and how difficult structuring an hour long comedy set can be. His insight is invaluable. Check it out!!!
