Larry Weaver is an accomplished stand-up comedian
and funny singer/songwriter. His Southern charm and humor come honestly. He
grew up in the tiny mill village of Saxapahaw, NC (look
closely, it's on the map), and started performing at
a young age.
After majoring in accounting at the University of
North Carolina, Larry left his CPA dreams behind for
a career in comedy. He toured across America with
his own improvisational comedy group
Selected Hilarity, playing hundreds of
college campuses and twice garnering nominations for
"Comedy Act of the Year" by both NACA
and Campus Activities Today
magazine.
Larry's solo career took off when legendary radio
DJ Dr. Demento started playing his debut EP, Pack
Full of Comedy. The hit song, "Grandpa’s Gone
Gangsta" captured the attention of concert promoters
who booked him on tour with Grammy Award winner
"Weird Al" Yankovic. He went on to
share the stage with Faith Hill, Ray Romano
("Everybody Loves Raymond"), and Chris Rock - just
to name a few.
Larry released two additional CDs of funny songs
and commercial parodies. These albums spawned the
morning radio hits "State Fair Woman" and "Ghost in
the Trailer," a hilarious tale about a family
terrorized by a redneck ghost. His web site,
TrailerGhost.com, is the only Internet site
dedicated to paranormal activities in mobile homes,
and Larry is a frequent guest on radio shows
explaining this very important work.
His live act is loaded with great music, audience
interaction, outrageous characters and, of course,
the occasional wig. What would you expect from a guy
who once worked as a professional wrestling manager
and now spends half his time rooting out spirits in
trailer parks?
Larry is definitely a unique comedian, who the
Charlotte Observer calls 'a song parodist of high
order… a double threat with a joke in one hand and a
guitar pick in the other."

our Laugh for Life event. Larry kept the crowd laughing
with his hilarious clean comedy and I am still getting
