Welsh Festival favorite Lloyd Langford is back on our shores and contrary to the publicity that is out there, he attests it is not the name of the show. His suggested show name that didn’t make the cut is equal parts hilarious as it is inappropriate and kicks off the hour on a high which Langford effortlessly maintains.
He gets the most obvious thing out of the way at the start: his deep, deadpan voice which is thickly laced in that distinct Welsh brogue. In true self-deprecating fashion, Langford lists the drawbacks of sounding like him which he builds brilliantly to an amusing anecdote where he finally discovers a perk to having a voice and diction like his.
Over the course of the hour, we are regaled with stories from his travels like harrowing hotel experiences and the time he got a full bodily assault from a robot. Langford also entertains us with his signature whimsical observations like what he thinks is more fatal to Brits than terrorism (the answer is balconies) or why we should never introduce birds to meat.
From dead celebrities to pedophile hunting before nonchalantly seguing into the time he unwittingly got sexually molested in Pattaya by a masseuse, no topic is left uncovered and there is nothing Langford can’t put a comedic spin to. His strength lies in his ability to tell a good story with perfectly timed punchlines and just the right amount of droll.
Lloyd Langford delivers yet another excellent and engaging hour of comedic candor that is sure to give your laughing muscles a workout. His style of anecdotal comedy is the perfect treat for anytime – the weekend, end of the week, heck even middle of the week – just go see him!
