Larry is a BAFTA-winning comedy writer and actor, best known for the hit BBC1 sitcom Ghosts and the critically lauded sketch show Horrible Histories.

Larry has worked in comedy for more than 20 years with credits which encompass both mainstream comedy (Tracey Ullman’s Show, Armstrong & Miller, Murder in Successville) and high profile family shows (Jim Henson, Disney, Aardman). He was a principle writer and star of the historical sketch show Horrible Histories, which won more than 20 major awards, including two National Comedy Awards, four successive Children's BAFTAs (a Guinness World Record) and the Prix Jeunesse for the best children's show of the last 50 years. 

Following this, he continued to work with his Horrible Histories co-stars, creating the critically acclaimed fantasy sitcom Yonderland, which ran for three series on Sky 1 with Larry as showrunner.

His move into features began by co-writing and starring in the movie BILL, a comic take on Shakespeare's missing years, described as “the funniest movie this year” (The Sun) and “a crowd pleasing treat” (Mark Kermode, The Observer). This led to work on such films as PADDINGTON 2 and Aardman’s SHAUN THE SHEEP and CHICKEN RUN sequels.

In 2019 the sitcom Ghosts was launched on BBC1, with Larry as co-creator, writer and star. It received a glowing critical reception, quickly becoming the most watched comedy on UK television, and earning three BAFTA nominations. The American remake on CBS has become a huge hit stateside and is now in its fourth series, with further remakes in production in France, Germany and Australia.

Larry has written commissioned feature scripts for companies including Aardman Pictures and BBC Films, and on TV projects for Channel 4, BBC, HBO and Showtime. 

He is a born-and-bred Brightonian, who likes cats & dogs, films, classic VW's and (on the whole) people.
