Larry Dean

Larry Dean is a fantastic Glaswegian stand-up comedian and event host.

A highly accomplished performer and much sought-after headliner on the comedy circuit, Larry has a wealth of experience both hosting and performing at private events. He is quick and adaptable, bringing warmth and laughs to both virtual and ‘real world’ occasions. As a queer comedian whose stand-up material speaks to his experience, Larry is also a top choice for LGBTQI+ focused events.

Larry has performed multiple critically-acclaimed stand-up shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, two of which secured him nominations for the prestigious Best Newcomer and Best Show Edinburgh Comedy Awards (formerly known as the Perrier Award). He has proven international appeal, as a regular at all major international comedy festivals, and has recently filmed his own stand-up special.

Larry’s TV credits include two appearances on Live At The Apollo (once as host), Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, Mock The Week, The Stand-Up Sketch Show, and Roast Battle.

 Testimonials

Larry was great…from being low maintenance and humble to deal with around travel and green room arrangements (priceless for the event organiser) to judging the crowd well and engaging everyone from his first joke (not easy since we’re a very niche business area with a large number of quite reserved staff members). From a value for money point of view, Larry was wonderful – compared to other ‘household names’ Larry more than held his own and drew a larger number of positive comments from staff over the days/weeks after the event.

Larry was great; everyone loved him and he was a delight to have around.
