I don't really know if this will REALLY be read by people, but if it does... so be it.
My name is Larry, and I'm a comedian. I've performed onstage for a little over 12 years now. I started out in theatre at Bristol Community College in 1997, met my counterpart, Seamus Corbett, and just kept performing years after that.
I joined an improv troupe called The Speed Of Thought Players in 2000 where I could peform one of the hardest forms of comedy ever. Now I have a feeling of being unstoppable. I don't care who you are, no one can touch me onstage. It's one of the only things I can truly be egotistical about. I never played sports, I was a band geek. I was always the outcast, the sore thumb that stuck out and I liked being a guy who had everything against him.
I like comedy. I'm addicted to the sound of laughter that's created by me. It makes me feel like I've made people happier when they see me perform, and I want to continue that journey.
So anyway, I've been in this improv group for 9 years and feel like I've reached a plateau with them. Management of the group is piss-poor, there's no organization whatsoever, it's seems like it's been just a great accident that has happened. I'm tired of feeling like I put my heart and soul into something that'll never be successful. I want this group to succeed, but the overhead prevents that. When you perform improv, certain parts of your mind open up and other ideas come into play. With that being said, I've decided to form my OWN improv group with those who have the talent to raise the improv bar, and become successful at what they love... making people laugh and get paid for it.
Comedy originally began as a therapy vehicle for me about 15 years ago. I almost took my life being in a very depressed state, but comedy saved my life. A friend reintroduced it to me, and I'll be forever in his debt for filling my heart with a passion and a purpose in life. I'm 31 years old right now, and age has nothing to do with the element of success. I've spent too many days and nights complaining about others in the way of my dream, I'm done. From now on, I will spew it out on here, and use every waking available moment to reach my dream of becoming famous! I've already started working on material for this project, and look forward in making this thought a reality!
Fear the funny. Long live the iCu!
