Larry Weaver
Who is Larry?
Larry's popularity has exploded since releasing his debut album, "Pack
Full of Comedy" in 1998. Thanks to exposure on Dr. Demento, morning radio
shows, and the Internet, Larry's fan club now includes members from over
10 countries. In 1999, Larry's hit "Grandpa's Gone Gangsta" spent much
of the year at the #2 spot on the mp3.com comedy charts?second only to
MTV heavyweight Tom Green.
Weaver is no stranger to the stage. He formed sketch comedy group Selected
Hilarity while a student at the University of North Carolina. After graduation,
the group headlined over 500 shows in 33 states. They were so popular that
the National Association of Campus Activities nominated them in 1996 and
1997 for Comedy Act of the Year.
Now on his own, Larry's shows include songs that range from rock 'n
roll to rap and from bluegrass to blues. His latest CD, "Everybody's Crazy
But Me!!!" showcases this diversity. This unique album features sketches
and songs from some of Larry's favorite characters including the misguided
country philosopher "Uncle Phil" and the sensual R&B singer "Smoove
L".
In the summer of 2000, Larry's popularity caught the attention of promoters
across the country, who invited him to perform with two-time Grammy-award
winner "Weird Al" Yankovic. The pairing's performances led to rave reviews
from fans and critics alike. A former professional wrestling manager, Larry's
eclectic interests include web design, rap music and late-night infommercials.
His goal is to one day fight Stone Cold Steve Austin on Pay-Per-View. Whether
it's on the radio, on stage or in the ring, a Larry Weaver performance
will delight anyone who loves to have fun.

"A song parodist of high order, Larry 'The Dream' Weaver is a double
threat with a joke in one hand and a guitar pick in the other."
