Have you ever heard the phrase ‘He was born to be on the stage’? It’s a phrase that could have been solely written for Lloyd Hollett.

From the moment he entered the world Lloyd has enjoyed entertaining. Rumour has it, that even in his pram, the baby Lloyd was great at putting on a show. Give him a rattle, a dummy or a teddy bear and he would give you a ten minute routine. Now he fills theatres – then he filled nappies!!

Lloyd Hollett is undisputedly one of the UK’s top up and coming Comedians. His own unique blend of Manic, Zany humour, is in high demand. Using his unpredictable style of ‘madcap’ comedy and strong vocal attack, Lloyd now plays regularly for many major Cruise Lines worldwide including The Thomson Dream, Spirit, Destiny, Celebration, Emerald and Calypso. As well as The Sea Princess for Princess Cruises, Norwegian Dream for NCL, the Prinsendam for Holland America, P&O Oceana and Fred Olsen Braemar as well.

When not at sea, Lloyd also finds time to keep on his own home ground, and when not cruising, he tours night after night at many of the top venues throughout Britain and Europe including; Butlins Minehead, Bognor Regis & Skegness, The Grand Hotels Folkestone, Scarborough, Llandudno & Blackpool and The Holiday Village’s in Turkey & Palma for First Choice Holidays… to name but a few…

His one – man show has now proved more and more popular over the past five years. Not only does he headline them, but he also writes, produces and directs the shows himself. Past shows put on at The Theatre Royal Margate include: ‘An Audience With...'(1999), ‘Alive & Dangerous’ (2000), ‘For One Night Only’ (2002), ‘Live & Uplifting’ (2003) and most recently 'Mad & Manic' (2004), which was filmed for DVD - AVAILABLE HERE!

His act defies description – let’s just say he’s all over the place! In the pursuance of his trade, he has endured injuries that have included a twisted ankle, sprained back, inflamed lung, chipped nail, one deeply cut chin and concussion. It is hoped that all future performances end with the ringing of the audience’s applause in Lloyd’s ears as opposed to that of an ambulance!

Many of our current stars gained experience through Holiday Parks, and this is now one of the few practical ways of entry into show business. For Lloyd in 1999 the holiday park provided him with just what he was looking for – a roof over his head and a chance to perform on a regular basis. His natural unpredictable, cheeky but loveable personality was a great asset in the twenty four hour schedule that Holiday Park work demands. At last he had finally found a successful outlet for his all round talent. After four successful seasons at a leading South West Coast Holiday Park, he realised it was time to move on.

Early 2005 Lloyd’s versility was put to the test when he cracked the lucrative Cruise Ship Circuit when he took on a six month contract taking on 2 major acting roles on MV Thomson Spirit. Taking on the role of ‘Will Mossop’ in the classic Comedy Play ‘Hobson’s Choice’ and the lead male role of ‘Tony’ in ‘West Side Story’- which were performed regularly throughout many exotic places including Tenerife, Maderia, Lanzarote, Pompei, Portugal, Ibiza, Agadir, Barcellona, Rome, Malta, Palma, Gibraltar, Sharm El Sheikh and Cairo.

Lloyd is no stranger to Pantomime either - his credits have include 'Simple Simon’ in Jack and the Beanstalk (Margate), 'Idle Jack' in Dick Whittington (Stevenage) starring alongside Sheila Furgeson in 2006, 'PC Pongo' in Aladdin (Canterbury) starring alongside Stephen Mulhern & Shaun Williamson in 2007. This year will see Lloyd's third consecutive pantomime in Guildford. Having played ‘Wishee Washee’ in Aladdin alongside Nigel Havers in 2008 and ‘Buttons’ in Cinderella with Gethin Jones in 2009.

With numerous one-man shows, summer seasons, cruise ship guest act slots, pantomimes and theatre credits under his belt, Lloyd Hollett continues to establish himself as a rising Comedy Entertainer.

‘Lloyd Hollett is one of the most talented young comedians I know...warm, genuinely funny and a great voice too. If he doesn’t crack the big time there is no justice in this business we call show!’
