Biography of Larry Dean

Larry Dean (born December 13, 1989) is a Scottish stand-up comedian. His comedy routines have earned him several awards including Scottish Comedian of the Year.

Dean grew up in the South Side of Glasgow. He started his stand-up career in 2010 whilst he was a student at the University of Southampton.

His show Out Now told the story of coming out to a strict Catholic family. Farcissist (2016) was about his life after coming out, his long-term relationship, and readjusting to the dating scene. His Fandan (2017), loosely wrapped around the central story of sitting in a café with two murderers, was among the ten best-reviewed Edinburgh Festival Fringe shows in 2017.

In 2017 he appeared on Live at the Apollo with Gary Delaney, Comedy Central UK's Roast Battle against Sofie Hagen, and on BBC's Mock the Week in 2018 and Michael McIntyre's Big Show in 2019 along with another appearance on Roast Battle Season 3, Episode 1, this time against Tom Allen.

Dean's act combines his Glaswegian accent and sexuality to create comedic tension, which is emphasised by the conflict between stereotypes.
