Hello and welcome back to Control Alt Delete. I'm Amaganan the host of this

podcast and the author of the book with the same name Control Alt Delete

how I grew up online which is available now. So today's guest is the brilliant

Karyad Lloyd. She is an award-winning actor,

improviser, comedian and writer, so basically a very amazing performer in

lots of different ways. She has appeared in Peep Show, Have I Got News for You and QI?

She's been improvising for 10 years and is one of the creators of ostentatious,

the improvised Jane Austin novel, who have had four sellout Edinburgh festivals and are now performing in London and they also have a UK tour.

If you go on ostentatious impro.com forward slash shows. You can find all the forthcoming dates for

Edinburgh, London and the UK tour. I really, really recommend going to see them. They are

hilarious, very talented and basically it just makes me love improv because what an amazing thing to not know what you're in for and for the cast not to know either so it's excellent so I had a great time with

Karyad we talk about lots of different things like Karyad's inspirations behind getting into comedy

white improv has a bit of a stigma still to it, and also how

to get into the industry as well. So I hope you enjoy this one. Here it is.

Okay. I don't know why I do that. I like, for a time I'm like some sort of 80s radio DJ. Sorry. Oh, because that's what I have mine. I'll have a really normal conversation

and I'm like so

welcome and I think it's just so awkward to go into podcast mode and like the first

like so hello is like with the awkward anxiety bit but anyway hi

podcast listeners.

From my tiny spare room in Hackney.
