Larry Venturino is a nationally touring stand up comedian who has performed at major clubs and theaters across the United States. With over 15 million views of his comedy worldwide, he continues to establish his brand and stage show which is unlike your typical stand up act. From the relatable to the unthinkable, his comedy covers a myriad of life experiences fused with an interactive stage game and the occasional performance pieces that sets his act apart from the “mainstream” comedy acts around today.
Originally from Rhode Island, Larry now lives in Florida where he burst onto the comedy scene in his mid-30s. Having already been married and, of course, divorced, he adopted two children. Being a middle-aged, white single father who raised two adopted Hispanic sons gave him a unique world view as he did his best impression of Diff’rent Strokes. To top it off, he was a Social Worker for over two decades…hence his warped sense of humor.
In addition to performing, Larry is also a booking agent, comedy club owner, and former punk rock/hardcore frontman who prides himself on a relentless work ethic of improving his stage show, promoting his performances, and producing and booking professional comedy shows. He has performed with some of his biggest comedy influences including Emo Philips and Kevin McDonald from The Kids In The Hall. He is a regular opener for The Magic of Eric Eaton as well for Dat Phan.
He can be heard on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and Bandcamp with the release of his 2017 digital EP - “Do You Know What’s In That?” He can also be seen on LMAO TV and very briefly on HBO, if you don’t blink.
