Lloyd has numerous tv and radio credits but is most well known as Rhod Gilbert’s flat mate on BBC1’s Ask Rhod?. “One of the sharpest comedic minds on the circuit.” The Guardian “A lugubrious Welshman with a knack of turning out juicy one-liners, Langford is a rising star.” The Guardian “A rich tapestry of jokes at his command.” The Independent "The sharpest of comedy instincts and an innate grasp of timing and pace…Makes stand-up look deceptively simple." Chortle “His laidback, charming approach to comedy makes him instantly likeable.” Time Out "Some really fine gags…A lovely contrast of this very benevolent delivery with some quite edgy material." Stephanie Merritt, The Observer "An expertly executed set." BBC Oxford “A quick and instinctively funny mind.” Metro “A born banterer, Langford handles swerve balls with ease.” The Stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
