Junior Booker

Josh Howie

Stand-up comedian and comedy writer Josh Howie has been performing regularly at all the major comedy clubs around the UK. In the past Josh has also taken his distinctive brand of humour to India, Ireland, UAE, France, China, Thailand, Switzerland, Finland, Estonia and America. In 2012, he was invited to perform at the prestigious Just for Laugh’s comedy festival in Montreal, where he filmed the internationally distributed Just For Laugh’s All Access TV show.

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

Josh Howie walks the potentially trip-wired ground of race and religious identity with diamond-sharp wit and no small degree of daring. It’s fiercely intelligent, delivered with verve and you can expect to see a lot more of Howie in the future. The Observer

Great things are expected from the abrasive yet strangely lovable Josh Howie. The Guardian

Howie is an intelligent comedian who knows how to amuse, shock and move an audience in equal measures. Time Out

It’s refreshing to see someone like Howie tell a wider story about his life while taking comic opportunities at every turn. ★★★★ Independent

Howie is mining half-remembered fears and turning them into the building blocks of an excellent show. The Guardian
