Laurence Clark is a British stand-up comedian, writer, actor, presenter, and disability rights campaigner.
Laurence was born with cerebral palsy and uses his line of work to alter the general public's perceptions of disabled people.
[citation needed] At the Labour Party conference in 2005, Clark was called a 'sit-down comedian' by the then-Prime Minister's wife Cherie Blair, referring to him being a wheelchair user.
[5] Clark's show at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival, 12% Evil, used video clips and Powerpoint slides to ridicule common clichés and stereotypes about disabled people.
[17] He also appeared in David Thacker’s A Midsummer Night's Dream at Bolton's Octagon Theatre, about which the Guardian said "his wheelchair-assisted Wall is indeed ‘the wittiest partition that I ever heard discourse.’"[18] Laurence Clark lives in Liverpool[19] with his wife and two children.
