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

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

”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
