New York-based writer/performers Richard Harrington and Chris Kauffman met in 1997 and began to craft the unusual blend of comedy, absurdity, tragedy, geography and accordion music that eventually became the two-man team of Belgian cabaret singer Gustave and his associate Nhar. Harrington & Kauffman debuted their first Gustave and Nhar show, Motel California, in 1999, and followed it up with Nharcolepsy in 2002. Their latest show, Cabaret Terrarium, opened in 2009. Each of these shows toured for several years around North America and the world. Richard Harrington wrote and directed the short film The Babies and co-wrote and co-directed the short film Waiting for Yanni. He has also toured his one-man show, Saving the Desert Tortoise, to fringe festivals in the Canadian prairie and performed it in New York at HERE Arts Center. In the past few years he has worked as a writer and performer in various productions at the Brick Theater in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
