Cocktails With Larry Miller

His name may not familiar, but Larry Miller’s face certainly is, thanks to roles in more than 100 movies and television shows, such as Pretty Woman, The Princess Diaries, Law and Order, Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal, Seinfeld, and frequent appearances on the late-night shows.

Actor and comedian Larry Miller takes the stage in his new one-man show, which is two parts comedy, one part theatre -- with a dash of music and a twist of truth. (“I talk about marriage a lot because it makes me laugh.”)

As one of today’s most well-known character actors (“A character actor is anyone in the movie not kissing Renée Zellweger.”), Larry shares his comic perspective about marriage, children, and drinking…
(“and how any of them always leads to the other two!”) Some content not suitable for young audiences.
