Queen’s Comedy welcomes one of Wales’ finest exports, Mr Lloyd Langford. Genuinely one of the top up and coming acts in the UK and a firm favourite at Queen’s Comedy HQ. Joining him on the night is James Goldsbury and Colin Murphy
Lloyd Langford
A prolific writer and performer, Lloyd Langford is proving himself to be a highly sought after act with his striking combination of natural wit undercut with a playful curiosity. Born in Wales but currently living in London, Langford’s act is an ever-evolving mixture of personal anecdotes, memorable one-liners and topical material.
“One of the sharpest comedic minds on the circuit.” The Guardian
“The sharpest of comedy instincts and an innate grasp of timing and pace…Makes stand-up look deceptively simple.” Chortle
James Goldsbury
James Goldsbury, Ireland’s 3rd tallest comedian headlines most of the clubs in Ireland such as The International in Dublin, the Empire in
Belfast around Ireland. In addition, he recently starred in and wrote for “Headweckers” on Channel 4 TV along with his comedy mates.
“…a wide ranging set of inclusive and engaging humour – with a particularly infectious delight and excellence in accents – from a fine
performer making his way up the comedy ladder. One to catch now before he’s huge.” – Metro

Queen’s Comedy is delighted to kick of our 2010 run with an absolute comic legend. The man is truly one of the best Irish comics on the circuit and returns to play the club for the third time. He will be joined on the night by up and coming Irish star Fred Cooke with Colin Murphy rounding the night off.
Kevin McAleer
Kevin McAleer is by far one of Ireland`s top comedians, having plied his own unique brand of comedy for over 20 years, collecting many accolades along the way as well as inspiring a new generation of story telling comedians including the great Stewart Lee.
Renound for his trademark timing and delivery Kevin is not an act to be missed. Expect your outtake on the world we live in to be severely changed as Kevin lets us in on a strange world of paranoia, delusions and hallucinations.
Fred Cooke
Fred Cooke first took to the comedy stage while studying at University College Dublin. This enabled him to work along side some of the great Irish comedians such as Jason Byrne, David O Doherty and Ardal O’ Hanlon. Since graduating in 2004 Fred performs a unique play full brand of musical comedy to audiences throughout Ireland and abroad.

That’s us comedy’d out until 2010! I am pleased to say that 2009 was probably our best year to date with some of our all time favourite acts taking to the stage!!
My personal highlight was Tom Stade’s performance in March which was probably one of the best live comedy show’s I’ve ever seen. The man is a true legend in all senses of the word.
We also had great performances from David O’Doherty, Jason Byrne, Phil Nichol and Kevin Bridges. I also can’t forget to mention Kevin McAleer who is the best Irish comic around. Go check him out wherever he is playing.
As for 2010, we’re pretty pleased with the line up we have booked and will be hoping to announce it in the coming weeks. It all kicks off again on the 3rd of February for five straight weeks of comedy so make sure you have your comedy socks on.

Karl Spain
Karl Spain was born and still lives in Limerick, but he has travelled in between. He has performed his comedy all over the world. He’s probably best known in Ireland for his TV series ‘Karl Spain Wants A Woman’. Which was a huge success in that he not only got huge ratings but he also found himself a woman. He is also a regular face on RTE’s hit TV show the ‘Panel’.
Despite his own series he has also performed stand up on television all over the world. The U.S, the Middle East, Australia and even as far away as England. Expect nothing but the best from Karl who is one of Ireland’s top comics.
