"Close to the bone and very funny... makes Chris Morris look lightweight." (4 stars)

The Scotsman

“Intelligent and challenging... always a thought-provoking point behind the laughter." (4 stars) Chortle

”Laurence Clark has a wit drier than the Navajo desert, a control of timing that would put Seiko to shame and scores upon scores of fizzingly funny one-liners."
The Stage



Laurence Clark, a comedian with cerebral palsy and cast member of the Octagon's production of A Midsummer Nights Dream, attempts to reclaim the word ‘spastic’ through a series of hilarious stand-up routines and hidden camera stunts. Laurence recently topped Shortlist magazine’s ‘Britain's Ten Funniest New Comedians’ list, ahead of such comedy luminaries as Daniel Kitson and Alex Horne.

Laurence first found fame when Cherie Blair called him a sit-down comedian. Thankfully, Laurence’s gags are much funnier, transcending this incident to become a critically-acclaimed and in-demand fixture on the comedy circuit. Taking no prisoners, Laurence’s in-your-face style challenges his audience to accept his unique viewpoint and delivery style:

“I reckon my audiences will either be rolling in the aisles or stunned into a perplexed silence by my story. I can’t wait to find out which it will be!” www.laurenceclark.co.uk
