I call upon my 37 years in the broadcast industry and college athletics, to help your group overcome adversity to realize their goals and dreams. I employ humor in my presentation, and as a comedian can entertain a diverse group of audience with "Tonight Show" clean material.
Larry was a great comedian for our year-end celebration. Larry was Hilarious, audience appropriate and kept us in stiches. Larry tempered his anecdotes to fit our finance team and everyone could relate. We recommend Larry of any and all occasions.
Price Range: $150-$1000
Languages: English, German
If you are planning an event for your employees or organization, I am prepared to deliver a presentation of up to one hour, using my own experiences and lessons learned from others to empower the audience to define themselves, instead of allowing themselves to be defined by others.
I am also prepared to talk to young people about career choices.
If you are seeking a comedian, I can entertain your group/patrons with material appropriate to their age and interests.

I have no special needs. A microphone helps, but if none is available.....I can project!
