Ms Cariad Lloyd has scandalised polite company by performing ‘comic turns’ and writing (despite her little lady hands) with alarming regularity. She has appeared in such amusing revues as ‘Peep Show’, ‘Toast of London’ and ‘Inside No. 9’, and has also been seen without a bonnet on ‘QI’ and ‘Have I Got News For You’. A most lively improviser, she has performed with the ‘Comedy Store Players’, ‘Baby Wants Candy’ and the ‘UCB’ in the Americas. Most likely to be found indulging in vigorous dancing and wistful looks.
