The continued rise of comedian LloydGriffith who is also bringing his new tour to Lincoln this weekend
Starring alongside Hollywood actress Helena Bonham Carter, interviewing one of the world’s most famous footballers, singing the national anthem in front of packed football stadiums and, of course, making people laugh – Grimsby-born comedian Lloyd Griffith has certainly had a memorable career so far.
“The tour is the story about me being a little tubby entertainer my whole life and about a review I got as a child that I will have a musical written about one day. It’s about me being an all-round entertainer, actor, singer, and comedian. When he moved to London and went to a comedy club in 2006 he saw “two comics on the bill I hadn’t heard of” at the time – Milton Jones and Micky Flanagan who went on to be big names.
Last year he was also proud to be involved in such a “flagship show” Question of Sport, especially due to his love of football, but admitted he “got grief for getting some questions wrong”. Although Lloyd is friends with Jack Whitehall, who has starred in and written episodes of the popular show, he said “some people think it is because you know certain people, but it isn’t the case, you have to hold your own”.
He said it was a “real pinch yourself moment being on set sat down next to Helena Bonham Carter” and he felt blessed “to work with one of the greatest actors we’ve ever seen”. “She is lovely and knows where Grimsby is which is even nicer,” he added.
