A GIANT tour has been given a gigantic name.

Lloyd Griffith is visiting comedy spots across the country next year with a brand-new show, called One Tonne of Fun.

It will include, he promises, a unique bag of stand-up, with dubious impressions, and a sprinkling of his singing.

Lloyd was recently one of the first people to sing the new anthem (with ‘King’ instead of ‘Queen’) at various football matches around the country.

As a boy, he always wanted to play for Grimsby Town FC, but instead he was able to perform on the pitch before the Grimsby v Crewe Alexandra match, to a packed crowd.

Next year, he will be seen in Nolly, an ITV drama about the famous soap opera Crossroads, playing the part of Paul Henry – the actor who portrayed Benny in the series. Starring Helena Bonham Carter, the mini-series was written by Russell T Davies, directed by Peter Hoar (It’s A Sin) and executive-produced by Nicola Schindler.

And he will be in the Channel 4 comedy Everyone Else Burns. It follows a hyper-religious family navigating their way through the modern world whilst avoiding eternal damnation.

And he’ll be at the Just The Tonic comedy club in Friar Street, Reading, on Thursday, February 9.
