For over a decade, Larry Dean has been one of comedy’s best-kept secrets. Known for his sharp observations on class and culture, Dean is also one of the most charming and accomplished performers on the circuit.
Through an impressive range of impressions, accents and physical performances, he brings stories to life with infectious energy and a giddy abundance of detail.
With appearances on QI and Live at the Apollo, Dean is no stranger to our screens. However, his recent involvement in Saturday Night Live UK has introduced him to an even wider audience, with contributions to sketches including ‘Looking Theroux the Mirror’.
Dean’s time as an industry secret may be coming to an end, but his reputation as one of the UK’s finest comedians continues to grow.
His latest show, Hellbent, received widespread praise at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, showcasing his ability to tackle subjects such as neurodiversity and homosexuality with honesty, warmth and accessibility.
Meanwhile, his latest special, Dafty, premiered on Sky TV to a strong response from critics and fans alike, demonstrating everything that makes him stand out in stand-up.
With expressive physical comedy, razor-sharp observations and an animated style reminiscent of a Scottish Jim Carrey, Dean is a performer not to be missed.
Larry Dean brings Hellbent to Newcastle’s Tyne Theatre & Opera House on Friday 13th November.
