Mark Normand’s Hilariously Awkward Meeting with Larry David

Mark Normand’s Hilariously Awkward Larry David Encounter

Mark Normand recently shared the chaotic story of meeting Larry David, one of his comedy idols, after moving his sold-out Chicago Theater show to accommodate Larry’s schedule. Normand’s agent called with an unusual request: Larry wanted the 5:00 PM slot, meaning Normand’s show had to shift from 7:00 to 8:00. Normand agreed, but only on one condition—he got to meet Larry.

After Larry’s show, Normand was ushered into the green room. The setup was pure chaos: Larry was surrounded by family and old friends, reminiscing about the 1970s, completely oblivious to Normand’s existence or the favor he had done. Larry’s handler interrupted the chatter with an abrupt, “This guy wants to meet you.”

Larry’s reaction? A reluctant and confused, “Uh…okay.” Normand entered, hoping for recognition, but got none. Larry had no idea who Normand was or that he was performing right after him.

“Give me some context, you queefs!” Normand joked, comparing the bizarre encounter to an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Despite the awkwardness, Normand got his moment—proof that even meeting your heroes can feel hilariously like a Larry David bit.
