Clean comedy is what Larry D. Veal has been providing since 1990. His clean comedy is so strong that he even has received standing ovations in many of the so-called "Def Jam" type comedy clubs.

Larry graduated from the Indianapolis Broad Ripple High School of Performing Arts, and then attended Paine College in Augusta, Georgia. While attending Paine College, he won the Bill Cosby Award for Best Comedian and the Sidney Poitier Best Actor Award three years in a row! He knew then that performing was for him.

After graduating in 1989 he entered and often won comedy competitions. During this time, he performed at comedy clubs but noticed a rise in vulgarity in these clubs. Because of this, he chose to present his talents to schools and corporate America.

Larry has spent more than ten years working in the area of juvenile delinquency and has received numerous awards for his ability to inspire youth. He has been recognized by such dignitaries as First Lady Hillary Clinton and Former President Jimmy Carter. (As a high school freshman, Larry was an active member of a gang, suspended 18 times and received all F's. As a senior, he was an honor roll student and recipient of the "Best Mental Attitude" and "Outstanding Athlete" Awards.)

He is now one of the most sought-after comedic motivational speakers appearing in schools across the country. His programs are innovative, inspiring and exciting. He is also a consultant for organizations such as the National Youth Crime Prevention Council and Communities in Schools, Inc., the nation's largest alternative school organizations.
