Larry Smith is a natural born performer, starting his show business career with his first television appearance at the age of 4, on Romper Room. Throughout his childhood into his teen years Larry was very active honing his skill participating in everything from high school radio, to acting, stand up, and play writing. Larry then went on to the Theatre Arts program at Niagara College .

Larry made his Comedy debut on May 5th 1984 at Cracker’s Comedy Club in Hamilton , Ontario .
