M AY 2 0 1 5 4 3 Isnt that photobytennysontappaninsetpressphotofromianharviesuperhero Funny Guy Ian Harvie talks about life stand-up and his annual Maine Comedy Weekend in Bethel. IntervIew By Jeanee DuDley M AY 2 0 1 5 4 3 C omedian actor and transgender activist Ian Harvie began his career in the Old Ports comedy clubs. His fame took a great leap for- ward with his co-starring role in Transpar- ent Amazons Golden Globe-winning 2014 series di- rected by Jill Soloway. Born in Portland Harvie 46 grew up in Bridgton. After a year at Lasell College in Boston he left school knocked about and traveled for a few years before set- tling in Portland. In 1994 he interned in the design de- partment at Maine Publishing Corp. which published Maine Times and Casco Bay Weekly. In 1996 he started his company WebSmith in Portland. He cut his teeth in stand-up at the Comedy Connection here and in Bos- ton. In 2006 he uprooted to Los Angeles to take a shot at the big-time. Growing up were you influenced by Maine legends like Tim Sample I remember hearing Tim on the radio around the holidays but I was more of a TV kid than an album kid. I was all about Flip Wilson and Carol Burnett. I loved shows like Laugh-Inall those comedy shows where people cracked themselves up in the middle of the scene. Howd you get into the comedy scene here I owned a web development company in Portland about 13 years ago. There I got a booklet in the mail from some random guy offering comedy writing lessons at Portland Comedy Connection. The guy teach- ing it Tim Farrell had done writing for The Daily Show he still runs the class and were good friends. He sent his pamphlet out to a bunch Ian Harvie has toured extensively with friend and mentor Margaret Cho.
