Candy Roberts is LARRY

SHOWTIME 7:30 pm sharp!

Award-winning Canadian Clown Artist Candy Roberts assumes her alter ego in this smart and daring piece about a lovable hoser’s hilarious attempt at self-improvement.

He's no “idiom," and when the band doesn’t show up, tech guy Larry tries his darndest to convince the audience that he can do the show. What could go wrong?

In a dynamic display of stupidity, Larry offers stand-up comedy and life-couching wisdom, such as going to the dump to watch the bears eat the garbage, before undergoing a surreal transformation while learnin’ the audience how to "medertate".

Bob and Dog Mckenzie meets Gloria Steinem? Feminism meets headbanging? Gear Down, Big Rig, you might get sideways.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A masterful, weird, poignant, gut-busting, vulnerable, and thought-provoking tour de force from Candice Roberts”- Cincinnati Fringe

“I don’t transcend in the theatre on a regular basis, but Larry opened me up and took me to a higher plane. Roberts’s clowning technique is first-rate — once she gets you laughing, she will not fucking let up. It took me to the core of my being. For Real.”-Colin Thomas – Simply the Best of 2019

“This superior, adult-oriented clowning comedy is far deeper than it first appears. It’s funny, weird and telling — with something important to say.”- Orlando Weekly

“A bare-bones, outrageously funny send-up and exploration of gender, gender roles, masculinity, stereotypes and affirmation”– René Grayre, Show-score, NYC

“This is a daring, weird, hilarious show with head banging, so basically everything you could want.” —the Georgia Straight

“GO SEE THIS F*CKING SHOW. I laughed so hard I cried, and then I cried some more—for entirely different reasons.“- #YEGARTSINREVIEW

“a highly skilled physical comedian, and, as you’ll see in the course of Larry, her bravery is virtually unlimited” – Liz Nichols https://12thnight.ca/

“A fearless performer”– CBC
