HESLEY HARPS Turns a Prison Sentence into Sweetness with New Dark Comedy Web Series ‘LIVE IT UP LEMONADE’

LOS ANGELES (September 21, 2017) – Creator/Actor HESLEY HARPS turns a prison sentence into sweet laughs with her new original dark comedy web series, LIVE IT UP LEMONADE, launching online September 27th at LiveItUpLemonade.com and on YouTube.


LIVE IT UP LEMONADE follows Rhonda (Harps), a recently incarcerated lemonade saleswoman, as she shares her tricks of the trade from behind bars to help her franchisees get rich. With a life goal to sell lemonade or die trying, Rhonda started as the manager of Live It Up Lemonade training seminars. After probably (definitely) murdering one of the trainees, her sweet life turned sour. Now in prison, she continues to train franchise owners from a bootleg online app with trade tips recorded on a smuggled-in cell phone.

The 6-episode series is an extension of the successful one-woman live show Harps created and performed for a year at Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) Theatre in Los Angeles. To help bring the new prison-based world to life in the series, she turned to a few of her funny friends, including Luke Sholl (Very Mary Kate) and Arnie Pantoja (Hamlet 2). 

Harps is excited to now share Rhonda with the masses, adding “Have you ever been trapped in an elevator with a crazed neighbor who wants to share her genius idea with you? That’s Rhonda, but instead of an elevator she’s in federal prison.”

A Georgia native, Harps has built a solid reputation for her comedy skills. She appears as a recurring sketch comedian on the TBS late-night show, Conan, best known for her portrayal as an out-of-work SeaWorld trainer teaching tricks to Mr. O’Brien. She gained fans appearing regularly on Funny or Die and CollegeHumor, starring in online exclusives and also on HBO’s Funny or Die Presents. Her television credits also include a recent role on NBC’s new hit-series This Is Us, along with appearances on New Girl, Adam Ruins Everything, The Adam Carolla Show and more. She honed her comedy chops performing at UCB for two years on a Maude team (SNL-style sketch team). Before moving to Los Angeles, Harps performed regional theater throughout the south and east coast. 

Hesley Harps is represented by Principal Entertainment (Los Angeles) and Houghton Talent (Atlanta, GA).
