The Velvet Onion, 7th January 2018Edinburgh Fringe 2014 interview: Lloyd Langford

Laugh Out London, 15th July 2014Why feminists need comedy if they want to win
Contemporary feminist comedy has already proven successful. A recently-launched website, Reductress, for instance, satirises the cynical types of articles often found in glossy magazines ("Is he eye-photoshopping you?"), and an Indian video satirising victim-blaming went viral.

Writers thus discovered include Ben Partridge (who went on to create It's Your Round), Eddie Robson (who wrote Radio 2's Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully) and Nadia Kamil (of The Now Show). I wonder if they all signed up to that iniquitous "standard" contract clause which grants to the BBC "all rights in all media in perpetuity"?
