Larry Weaver is a professional comedian, entertainment booking agent, and author of Funny Employee Awards - Your Complete Guide to Organizing a Humorous, Entertaining, and Rewarding Recognition Ceremony.
Larry grew up in the tiny mill village of Saxapahaw, NC, and started performing at a young age. After majoring in accounting at the University of North Carolina, he left his CPA dreams behind to tour across America with improv comedy group Selected Hilarity.
He went on to share the stage with "Weird Al" Yankovic, Faith Hill, Ray Romano, and Chris Rock – just to name a few.
Upon going solo, Larry released three CDs of funny songs and commercial parodies. These albums spawned such morning radio hits as "Grandpa’s Gone Gangsta" and "Ghost in the Trailer," a hilarious tale about a family terrorized by a redneck ghost.
Larry launched Larry Weaver Entertainment booking agency to capitalize on his growing success. The company has a stellar reputation across the United States for providing 100% clean comedians and funny speakers for corporate meetings and special events.
Still performing, Larry loves to poke fun at office life and the culture that surrounds it. He encourages people to break out of their rut and achieve greatness.
With nearly twenty years in the corporate and entertainment worlds, Larry uses his unique experiences create a fresh, offbeat, and funny twist on workplace humor.

I grew up in the tiny mill village
of Saxapahaw, NC (look closely, it's on the map), and now reside near Raleigh, NC.
In my comedy performances, I love to poke fun at office life and the culture
that surrounds it. Other favorite topics include the Internet, growing up in the
South, snack cakes, carnival rides, popular culture, and household insects.
Oh, Larry ... hope you're doing well, sir! Just wanted to let you know that I'll be bringing my original band, Doug Davis and the Solid Citizens, to the Cave in Chapel Hill on Saturday night. If you're up for a little road trip, I'd love to see you there! d
Good luck at the Comedy Central taping on July 15. I can't make it down to Atlanta, but I'll be rooting for you! Make us proud and win that Open Mic Fight!
Larry, what happened to "The Dream" in your name? Whenever I think of you the song "Dreamweaver" comes into my head! But there's no mention of Larry "The Dream" Weaver anywhere on this page. Keep "The Dream" alive, man!
To any of you who stumbled upon Larry here and have never been to one of his shows, let me tell you it's worth seeing. I've known Larry for lets see...20+ years? Dude is a funny guy!!
Hope to see you soon Larry!!
So...I go all the way to Aberdeen, South Dakota for a college gig. I'm setting up my gear, and who's ugly mug is on the wall? Larry Weaver! I'm following in your footsteps, but I seem to have missed the pro wrestling part.
