Adam Larter

Adam Larter is a British alternative comedian and founder of Weirdos Comedy Club.

Larter is most often associated with Weirdos but he is also a solo performer whose work is noted for its "lunacy" and uncompromising anarchy that often defies description.[1] He has completed several solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe as well as Plumpy Nut, a show he wrote and performed with fellow Weirdo Ali Brice which was described as ‘an obscure rags to riches story about a pig’.[2]

Larter set up Weirdos in 2010 as a reaction to the mainstream comedy[3] he was seeing whilst performing on the UK circuit. As part of Weirdos, as well as curating its nights, he does a lot of writing and directing. He co-wrote and directed their 2013 alternative Christmas panto The Colonel with Matthew Highton which featured amongst the Independent's 2013 must-sees for Christmas.[4] In 2014 he wrote their next Christmas panto A Christmas Tail.[5]

In 2014 Larter wrote and directed Computer Boy, a comedy play about a boy who wished he was a computer.[6]
