Billy Harris serves as a host of big-ticket fundraisers that connect the food and entertainment worlds:"We all trust and work with him to raise the most money possible."
"Nothing raises more money than a dinner with chefs Nancy Silverton, Alice Waters or Mary Sue Milliken coming to your house," says Harris, 50. Often donning sequined jackets to match a boisterous persona, he has emceed for L.A. Loves Alex's Lemonade, which battles child cancer; Beverly Hills' Share Our Strength No Kid Hungry Gala; and South Beach Food & Wine, among others.
Harris comes from a long line of vaudevillians and entertainers, so shtick runs in his blood. The Philadelphia-born, New Jersey-raised Harris went from child theater actor to doing stand-up comedy on cruise ships. Soon, his keen sense of timing and the ability to read a room got him regular gigs hosting fundraisers for private schools and corporate functions.
"Billy is one of the gang amongst the best and most famous chefs in the country," says Goin, a co-host of L.A. Loves Alex's Lemonade. "We all trust and work with him to raise the most money possible for our favorite charities."
