Veep creator Armando Iannucci is an executive producer on the film, and it shows in the lightning-fast pace of the dialogue and the density of the jokes. Adefope plays Dag, a new hire on set whose relatively low status on the Hollywood production halls doesn't stop her from chatting up everyone she meets, including A-list stars and executives who clearly aren't used to seeing an assistant as anything more than a holographic wallpaper.
Meeting comedian Lolly Adefope—who was born in South London and now lives in Peckham— for an interview at London West Hollywood in Los Angeles seems a little too much. We’re seated at a hotel bar so opulent and well-appointed that I momentarily regret wearing shorts. Fortunately, Adefope is also wearing shorts, along with a T-shirt, a green baseball cap, and a pair of Simone Rocha ballet flats. I feel compelled to point out the “British Lady” cocktail, a ginlemon-and-ginger concoction that Adefope smiles at before ordering a much more modest oaty latte.
