Internationally acclaimed comedian, writer and actor, Laurence Clark brings his 9th critically acclaimed comedy show, ‘Independence’, to venues across the UK this year, after the success of its premiere at the Edinburgh Festival this year. His observational, political stand-up and filmed stunts demonstrate the endearing naivety and ridiculousness of human behaviour by seeing the world through his eyes with humour and warmth.
Laurence has cerebral palsy. In this new show he challenges the audience to laugh at shit he can't do – guilt-free! With tales of adolescence, love and Harry Potter, he discovers no man is an island, except the Isle of Man! Hilariously he recently performed in the Scottish dance theatre production ‘Purposeless Movements’ (which got a 5 star review in the Herald!), where the whole cast had cerebral palsy and sometimes none of them could understand one another! Daniel Radcliffe has said in a newspaper interview that he prepared for playing a character with cerebral palsy by studying a video of Laurence!
