Edward Harrigan (October 26, 1844 – June 6, 1911), sometimes called Ned Harrigan, was an Irish-American actor, singer, dancer, playwright, lyricist and theater producer who, together with Tony Hart (as Harrigan & Hart), formed one of the most celebrated theatrical partnerships of the 19th century. His career began in minstrelsy and variety but progressed to the production of multi-act plays full of singing, dancing and physical comedy, making Harrigan one of the founding fathers of modern American musical theatre.
The date Harrigan was elected to The Lambs is unclear.
He was one of the co-founders of the Actors Fund of America in 1882 with several other Lambs.
His daughter, Nedda Harrigan Logan, was the first woman elected to lead the Actors’ Fund, in May 1979.
