Harmontown
A brief history of
Founded in 2011, Harmontown is a monthly live podcast hosted by Dan Harmon featuring co-host “Comptroller” Jeff Davis and "Dungeon Master" Spencer Crittenden. By 2013 it took to the road and by 2014 became a movie, the second documentary by director Neil Berkeley, following his first release “Beauty Is Embarrassing“ which premiered at South By Southwest.

Harmontown began as a monthly live comedy show in Los Angeles, California at the NerdMelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics, a landmark of the LA comic book scene for over 20 years. The podcast has since become a near-weekly podcast after Harmon's departure from Community.
Harmontown is largely improvisational. The show evolved into what Harmon and Davis call "live therapy sessions" for Harmon, as he discussed with Davis a variety of topics, from anecdotes about his family to commentaries on the the entertainment industry as well as his many works within it. The show frequently features many guests to help drive the discussion. On its fifth airing, the show began having a regular Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) session at the end of each episode.

This led to the introduction of Spencer Crittenden, who leads their D&D segments, having extensive knowledge of the game. Crittenden happened to be an audience member when Harmon and Davis asked for assistance from the crowd with how to play D&D. Crittenden gradually became a part of the main cast. He was then hired as an assistant to Dan Harmon and even stars in his own show HarmonQuest in which he is the "Dungeon Master" for a roleplaying game where Harmon, Davis, and a celebrity guest will partake in.
