Meet James Larsen.

James is my middle brother. (I'm the baby of three sons.)

This weekend was James' 50th birthday.
He was born July 3rd 1970 in British Columbia.
James died Dec 7th 2003 in New York City living his dream.

I'd like to share some of James' life with you today. 

This is James displaying his "deadpan" humour in Hollywood. Or is that Leo DiCaprio?

Clearly I'm not the only one in the family with a sense of humour. James was super funny. He was forever making faces. He'd bug his eyes out and stretch his mouth to opposite sides of his cheeks. It was terrifying and hilarious.

Here's what some nice people have said about me: 

"Lars' energy on stage is both awe-inspiring and infectious. One of the hardest working performers, he doesn't consider his job done until the audience is having a great time." - Ali Hassan, Comedian/Host CBC Radio & Television

"The man has serious chops and talent. He tells jokes, he plays guitar, he sings, he does characters. It’s absurd!" - Dean Young, Comedian/Host AM640 Inside Jokes

What’s all the hype about?

After more than ten years of doing standup, I recorded a sold out show in my hometown of Orillia featuring 11 of my favourite bits, including:

• Morgan's Morgue Mortgages & Smorgasbord
• Rick Shaw's Rickshaws VS. Dick Shaw's Dick Saws
• Studabaker's Dirt Farm
• Bob's Bidets 
• A Million Raisins

When...

Chances are it's been at least a few months since we had a chat-chit face to face. If we have seen each other recently, hooray for us! Either way, I wanted to reach out and connect with you.

First of all, I hope you and your loved ones are managing to remain healthy, happy & hopeful through the Covid-19 outbreak. Between the pandemic & the global fight for civil rights, this has been a period of rapid change & upheaval for many of us.

Simply put, these are challenging times and I hope you are finding ways remain positive, energized & inspired throughout.

We can & will be a better for all of this turmoil. It's clear that our "normal" was not cutting it and 2020 will be a massive pivot year for society to create a better normal for everyone. 

Please know that if there is anything you are struggling with, feel free to reach out and connect with me if you think I may be of service. One thing our isolation has taught us is that we all need human CONNECTION. ...
