Larry Dean: Hellbent

Hellbent is a solo stand-up show by the Scottish comedian Larry Dean, presented at the Alhambra Theatre in Dunfermline. It centres on a performer who has no intention of growing up.

Larry Dean is a Scottish stand-up comedian born in Glasgow. In Hellbent, Dean works alone on stage, and the material turns on refusing to grow up, with the performer's recent marriage forming part of the subject matter. Dean has previously been seen on SNL, Live at the Apollo, QI and The Royal Variety Performance, and the show has been reviewed at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Reviewers have praised the delivery as high energy from start to finish, noting the skill with which Dean uses accents, angular poses and stern glances to get laughs. One review described the mix of the outrageous and the romantic as well balanced, while another called the show a hugely satisfying piece of stand-up. The comedy is aimed at audiences who enjoy a fast-moving solo set built around a strong central character.

The show is staged at the Alhambra Theatre in Dunfermline, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the town. Audiences can expect a single performer, a comic voice and a stage used for character work rather than any set design or production effects.
