Described by Gyles Brandreth as “a linguistic comedy genius,” Lloyd Hollett – The Comedy Wordsmith – returns to the Theatre Royal, Margate, thirty-two years after making his very first stage debut there.

​

This hilarious show celebrates Lloyd’s incredible career, featuring never-before-seen clips, backstage stories, and his trademark wordplay routines that have made him one of the UK’s favourite comedy entertainers.

​

Originally scheduled for March 2020, the show was postponed – and rescheduled – several times due to the pandemic. Determined to stay loyal to his fans, Lloyd honoured his original ticket holders, many of whom held onto their tickets for over two years.

When theatres finally reopened, Lloyd captured the magic of this long-awaited night as a joyful celebration of live comedy’s return. After two years apart, audiences were more than ready to laugh again – and laugh they did!
