For those of you not familiar with " Laughing" Larry Berger,here's his short bio: I started reading my poetry in 1996 when a literary agent I was working for suggested I go to a reading at the Midnight Special Book store in Santa Monica ,CA. I went and was hooked. I've been reading ever since. In December of 1996 I was helping my mentor S.A. Griffin set up a stage for the Downtown LA Arts and entertainment district of the DADA festival and he told me the following," You'll either develop balls of steal or be too chicken shit to share what you can Really do. If you got the balls I'll back you to the hilt! If your chicken shit just leave now and don't ever come back! Decide and make it quick cause your up next! I created what I now call the Instant Poetry(Just Add Words! ) technique , got a standing ovation from all 5,000 people in the audience and SA. I was on my way! Over the next three years I went to every single reading in the Greater Los Angles Area at least once and was given my poetry name. On September 12, 1999 I was scheduled to do a featured reading at a venue called LA The Bookstore. 500 people showed up and they were all the players on the scene. RD Armstrong told me " Larry, there won't be an open mic tonight. We're here to see you!" I did the set and got a dollar from everybody so my first booking netted me $500.00. Since I've done festivals like the LA Spoken, The Sacramento Heritage Festival, The Java City Marathon, ARTWALK Alive, Art At the Armory, The Denver Poetry Rodeo and more. I've been a " Professional Poet " since 1999 and I average $30,000 to $50,000 from my words . I now also teach workshops ans classes in the Instant Poetry( Just Add Words ! ) form and have produced the following products: Instant poetry (Just Add Words!):
