Larry The Funny Guy

I normally don’t leave negative reviews, but after reading Larry’s response to one of the families I serve above, I had to chime in.

We hired Larry under he pretense that his routine would be clean and non- offensive. We explained the event was for parents of children with disabilities and was being held in a church with church staff present. We confirmed he understood this several times. He assured us he had performed for benefits for Children's Hospital and churches before and could keep it clean. Because he didn’t have any videos online, we had him call into our office and “tryout” before we hired him and the bit he did for us on the phone was Nothing like what he delivered. The live version was awkward and uncomfortable from the start - so much so we had to end it abruptly. From fat people jokes, to making fun of disabilities, to talking about shacking up with his girlfriend, it was all inappropriate - maybe not for The Funny Bone (which I go to often - so I’m not a sensitive flower), but definitely for what we hired him for.

Aside from that, he forgot jokes and had to go back and read them off a paper, and didn’t read the tension and lack of laughter in the room at all.

Larry, I appreciate that you believe people are too sensitive these days, but you should also not misrepresent yourself and should deliver what is promised.

We did call and have this conversation with Larry personally and expressed our disappointment without an apology or concern at all from him. We did pay him the full amount we agreed on even though we ended early. Our mistake.

The show was a flop. He made a joke about a fisherman with one arm to an audience of parents and caregivers of kids with disabilities. :(. The night was for building friendships and strengthening marriages and he made numerous negative jokes and comments about marriage and divorce. The jokes did not suite the audience he was hired to entertain. The room was silent but he kept on going.

His Rover story was the funniest thing i ever heard the next year he topped it with his Taser story, then his Taser story two beat that. i cannot wait to see what he comes up with next

I hade the pleasure of see Mr. Griffith Perform while traveling through Cincinnati Ohio. This is one Funny, Funny guy. That is all that is needed to say.
