Meet Laughing Vikings Founder:
Lars Classington
In 2009, I was working 70 hour weeks in financial services feeling burnt out, unmotivated and unfulfilled.
So I made a decision to lean into my dreams of working in tv and film as an actor and comedian.
First, I answered a Kijij ad "So You Wanna Be a Comedian?" which led to an exhilarating standup debut at YukYuks in London, Ontario.
Three years later I moved to Toronto to pursue a career in entertainment as a full-time professional.
Some Highlights So Far:
- Working with Jason Momoa on his epic series SEE (APPLE+)
- Lou on OH YUCK! (NETFLIX)
-
Sketch comedy series Almost Genius (CMT CANADA)
-
Billy Woodward on Fear Thy Neighbor: Screaming Oaks (DISCOVERY)
Founded in 2017, Laughing Vikings produces live comedy, tv, film, theatre, podcasts and social media content

So great to be introduced to Laughing Vikings and have a safe space to play :)"
