Adam Larter
Adam Larter is a writer and director known for his surreal and absurdist approach to comedy. He founded the Weirdos Comedy Club in 2011 as a platform for experimental and unconventional performances. The club began as a small, off-the-radar open-mic where acts could perform weird shit. Since then, the night and the acts in it's collective have gone on to do great things.
Weirdos have performed five full length pantomimes for charity, performed a Supergrass musical infront of Supergrass, sold out Leicester Square Theatre with a surreal Harry Potter tribute and performed a comedy play on ice which won Event of the Year at the Chortle Awards.
Adam has also taken multiple shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, such as Happy New Year (2012), Plumpy'Nut (2013), and Boogie Knights (2018), the latter of which was nominated for Best Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival .
Basically, Adam likes to write very silly things about very boring things.

‘One of the most stupidly brilliant things you''ll see this Fringe.’ Fest
‘His audience don't suffer, though they may get dizzy at all the strangeness swirling around their heads.’ Steve Bennett, Chortle
‘Obviously a very dedicated oddball, Adam Larter has created a giddy, bizarre whirlwind of a show’ The List
‘L'Art Nouveau is a prop-heavy, self-indulgent hour of downright silliness. There's nothing malicious about it and there's no cutting jibes. It is one of those Fringe experiences that''s simply there to enjoy.’ The Skinny
‘There's certainly plenty to look at and for a lot of the time the audience is entranced by the sheer volume of physical chaos happening on and off the stage.’ The Scotsman
‘Some of the silliest, funniest and most innovative shows on the circuit’ Timeout
‘Making us laugh at very strange things’ The Independent
‘The closest thing we have to a modern-day Comic Strip’ Chortle
