Howie is a name to watch.
The Times
Howie is brilliantly clever, honest, utterly engaging and absolutely fearless.
★★★★★ The Scotsman
A fabulous storyteller who can make you concentrate in silence then erupt into a
fit of giggles. He’s slick, he’s quick and he’s incredibly playful with words.
★★★★★ Metro
Great things are expected from the abrasive yet strangely lovable Josh Howie.
The Guardian
It’s refreshing to see someone like Howie tell a wider story about his life while
taking comic opportunities at every turn.
★★★★ Independent
With such wit and succession of one-liners it is impossible not to be impressed.
★★★★ Sunday Express
Excellent, intelligent stand-up…terrific.
