I WANT IN NOW!

Who is Joe 'Lars' Larsen?

A dual citizen with Canada & the US, my showbiz start came in 2009 when I answered a Craiglist adt "So You Wanna Be a Comedian?" resulting in an exhilarating standup debut at YukYuks.

Three months later I was the warmup act for the award winning late night talk show "London Tonight with Jeff Leeson" which expanded to announcer, writer, producer and standup tour opener for Jeff.

Some Highlights So Far:

  • Working with Jason Momoa on his epic series SEE (APPLE+)
  • 5 episodes as "Lou The Main Man" on Oh Yuck! (NETFLIX)

  • 20 episodes on sketch comedy series Almost Genius (CMT CANADA)

  • Lead role in Fear Thy Neighbor (DISCOVERY)

  • Recording my debut standup album Silly Goose in my hometown Orillia, ON.
