"Like fellow Glaswegian gobs Billy Connolly, Kevin Bridges and Janey Godley, Dean is a natural storyteller and his riffs soon evolved into a fascinatingly funny tale with a brilliant pay-off...I'm sure Dean will be winning other awards in the future", The Evening Standard
"Larry Dean has all you want from a classic stand-up. Confident, easy-going, some great lines, and full of surprising twists. His patter drew you into his world and you were happy to spend time there", Alan Nixon (Creative Director - C4, C5 & Comedy Central)
"Sharp and unexpected lines...a brilliant callback...sells them with an irresistible chutzpah", Chortle
"Promising newcomer", Time Out Magazine
"Hilarious accounts of his family life and problems with his sexuality...had the audience roaring", Venue Magazine
"Genius with the audience...so endearing and sweet...knows how to warm you subtly with a bit of cheek, and then blast you into a bit of insanity", StageWon - Edinburgh Fringe 2012
"Dean is a charming performer...he is amiable and chatty", Broadway Baby - Edinburgh Fringe 2012
"Engaging and funny, enough to make one think that a full hours set from him might be preferable", Three Weeks - Edinburgh Fringe 2012
"A master of audience control, wit and dark humour", Giggle magazine
"An instant hit with the crowd, thanks to great audience interaction and embarrassing personal stories", The Portsmouth News
"Friendly, cheeky and approachable demeanour adding slickness and professionalism", Crispy Comedy Cuts
"One particular comedian stood out tonight – Scotsman Larry Dean built an improvised set round questions from the audience, no matter how surreal and odd they were", Efestivals.co.uk
"I am shocked and slightly perturbed by his exuberance and quick wit. Knock Knock Channel 4", Scott Capurro (Perrier Award Winner)
"A high energy and engaging comic with a knack of reading the room, Larry Dean shows good writing and accomplished delivery every time" , Mirth Control
"Displayed his masterful ability with an audience, seemingly able to make them laugh at will. Setting an incredible pace for the evening *****" - Preston Fringe 2011
"Clever and funny. Expect big things from Mr Dean", Frog & Bucket
"Larry is brilliant and is one of my favourite people I’ve met doing comedy. Stormed my gig too. Lovely chap. Book him everyone!", H.A.N.D Comedy
"We have had Larry Dean at our club on two separate occasions, and on both, he absolutely brought the house down. The majority of our audience are regulars and have asked if Larry will be on the bill for the next club, despite having seen him twice already. I couldn't recommend this guy highly enough", No Strings Comedy Club
"A very good set, worked well with a tough room", Gary Delaney (Mock The Week)
