Matt Berry is the British actor and comedian who plays the foppish vampire Laszlo Cravensworth in the FX mockumentary series What We Do in the Shadows, which ran from 2019 to 2024 and grew out of the 2014 film of the same name. Berry's rich baritone and old-fashioned delivery made Laszlo an instant fan favourite, and short lines like this greeting were clipped and shared by viewers. The 'good evening' clip now circulates on soundboards as a classy, slightly camp way to open evening content.
