Cariad Lloyd's shapeshifting comedy in Edinburgh
From solo shows to improv and double acts ... why Lloyd is the face and the future of the fringe.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th August 2014Review: Cariad Lloyd and Louise Ford at Latitude
There are some splendidly inventive ideas in Cariad Lloyd and Louise Ford’s character show, getting a 40-minute run-through at Latitude before the polished version hits Edinburgh in a few days’ time.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th July 2014Edinburgh Fringe 2014 interview: Lloyd Langford
Lloyd Langford is one of the leading lights of a resurgent Welsh comedy scene (see Cariad Lloyd, Ellis James, Nadia Kamil, Rhod Gilbert etc), creating a persona of dry, good-hearted naivety.

Zander Swinburne, The Independent, 2nd March 2014Good Night: Cariad & Louise's Character Comedy Night
It's not your regular comedy club setting, but Louise Ford (off of Chickens) and Cariad Lloyd (off of everything else) are hoping they haven't created just another character night with, erm, Cariad and Louise's Character Comedy Night.

British Comedy Guide, 29th April 2013Initially created for the BBC's online Feed My Funny series, DBF delivers more hit sketches than misses. The wonders and absurdities of our continually advancing technology are heartily embraced, resulting in some truly funny spoofs: the witty Facebook-stalker rap is on the money, a Sherlock Holmes parody is wonderfully silly, and The Pirate Movie Awards will raise a few guffaws from downloaders (you know who you are, you naughty peeps). However, it's the iPad for horses, with its Longfacebook app, that's most worthy of myriad social media posts. Cariad Lloyd and Chris Kendall are standout performers and the writing - delighting in our obsession with new media - is fast, fresh and funny. More please.
Debra Waters, Time Out, 14th September 2012Cariad Lloyd
Screwball character comic Cariad Lloyd exploded out of nowhere in 2011, picking up a Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. Stevie Martin meets a comic for whom the boundary between fiction and reality is a little blurry.
