Larry Dean is Glaswegian – and no, that doesn't mean he's half Norwegian and half from the Galapagos Islands. He's an award-winning comic, and he's returning to Melbourne for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, bringing his new show Farcissist which explores his (sometimes absent) love life. Imagine a gay Billy Connolly and you'll get the idea.
The young-gun comedian picked up the Amused Moose Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year for Farcissist. The award is for performers deemed to be on the cusp of stardom, making Dean one of the MICF's hot tickets.
