Description
Comedian Larry Weaver specializes in GOOD CLEAN SOUTHERN COMEDY. Favorite topics include growing up in the South, eating healthy, pop culture, and computers. As heard on XM Blue Collar Radio and The John Boy & Billy Big Show.
Since 1991, Larry Weaver has delighted audiences across America with his clean, original comedy. Larry's Southern charm and humor come honestly. He grew up in the rural mill village of Saxapahaw, NC, and started performing at a young age.
After majoring in accounting at the University of North Carolina, Larry left his CPA dreams behind to tour across America with improv comedy group Selected Hilarity. His solo career took off in 1998 when legendary radio DJ Dr. Demento began playing Larry's debut album, Pack Full of Comedy.
Larry's hilarious routine about old people listening to rap music captured the attention of concert promoters who booked him on tour with Grammy Award winner "Weird Al" Yankovic. Larry has since gone on to share the stage with Faith Hill, Ray Romano ("Everybody Loves Raymond"), and Chris Rock - just to name a few.
Larry's most recent comedy CD has enjoyed heavy airplay on Sirius XM Blue Collar Radio. The album contains "Ghost in the Trailer," a hilarious tale about a family terrorized by a redneck ghost.
Over the past 20 years, Larry has performed well over 1,000 live shows for corporate events, colleges, Chamber of Commerce banquets, churches, comedy clubs and conferences across 37 states. He has the experience to make your next event a success!

TESTIMONIALS AND REVIEWS
"Great show! Good clean southern comedy. Your performance made the evening lighthearted, and having you follow the Induction of Officers allowed for an upbeat transition to our Citizen of the Year presentation. We're still laughing about the joke you made about our Town Hall being next to the Bojangles. Too funny! I have had so much positive feedback from the audience. We loved it!" – Owanna Victory, Board Member, Marshville Chamber of Commerce

Many, many comments and thanks were given to the HR Department for providing such a great program. Great job. – Teresa J Bell, Vice President of Human Resources, ACS Benefit Service Inc Annual Appreciation and Awards Luncheon

"We truly enjoyed having Larry Weaver headline our Laugh for Life fundraising event. Larry kept the crowd laughing with his hilarious clean comedy and I am still getting positive feedback days later on his performance. Larry was certainly a hit with our group!
