Local comedian The Great Cris Larsen believes he was put on this earth for one reason.
“I can’t be a doctor, I’m not a scientist, but I can make people laugh,” Larsen said. “I love the stage, but I think one of the things I’ve been put on this planet for is to bring solace to grim situations.”
When his 21-year-old nephew was diagnosed with terminal cancer some five years ago, Larsen was at his bedside trying to lighten the mood with wisecracks. And in that moment, the idea for the annual Laugh for Life American Cancer Society benefit was born.
“I became who I am today in that hospital,” Larsen said.

TESTIMONIAL
We wanted to thank you for making the live auction of the Peninsula Community Health Services fundraiser so completely and utterly enjoyable!
The combination of raising money for a cause and providing side-splitting humor for the audience was a win for all! In addition to being flat out hysterical, you did a wonderful job of entertaining the participants while gently moving the bids higher and higher. We were impressed with how well you read the audience while never losing sight of the auction's cause. You neither humiliated nor pressured anyone while you weaved the audience into your improv routine. We continue to chuckle about many of the silly things you said, the sounds you made, the jokes you told, and your stage presence. By the way, did the KRUMPFELKE cake (or whatever it's called) ever make it out of your pocket? The price of admission was paid back ten times with laughter and merry making thanks to you. Thank you for a wonderful evening and for support such a great cause.
Thanks again, and until next time...
