We are thrilled today to welcome the cutest wee comedian around! Yes, it’s Little Howard who is part of the comedy duo, Big Howard and Little Howard. Big Howard and Little Howard are on at the Udderbelly at the Brighton Fringe on the 16th and 18th May at 4.00 pm.
The Howards are also promoting their new kid’s book Little Howard’s Unpleasant Lullaby - Published by The Friday Project It is a scary tale designed to keep adventurous little children (especially Little Howard) in bed. So from within his exciting cartoonised world, let’s hear from Little Howard…..
1. What inspired you to become the only wee cartoon comedian?
Jenny Beashaws performance as the Angel Gabriel in the nativity play at school. She was so convincing and angely, even though she had to wear an eye patch to make her eye stop being wonky.
2. What is your show about and what should the public expect from your show?
Our show is about magic pencils and me being funny. And what the public should expect is surprises!
3. What is your favourite Festival or Fringe and why?
My favorite festival is Brighton, because Big Howard said I should say “Brighton”. My favourite fringe is the one in our kitchen, because it’s where Big Howard keeps the chocolate milk.
4. What’s your best advice for aspiring comedians on the Festival/Fringe circuit?
Don’t practice the bassoon in the middle of the night in our house or Big Howard will throw his slippers at you.
5. What is your funniest experience and also your worst experience performing or attending a Fringe/Festival?
My funniest experience at a festival was when I saw a bird poo on a man’s head on Brighton pier. The worst experience was when a bird pooed on my head. That wasn’t funny at all.
6. As you travel performing to different festivals/fringes, where is your favourite place to vacation/chill out and why?
The bath.
7. Who is the person you most admire and why?
Charlie Brown. Because he’s got a dog who can talk. I want a dog who can talk.
8. What is the best tip you have ever been given?
The tip of The Magic Pencil Of Life and Death. That won’t make any sense unless you come and see our show. So come and see our show.
9. What is the best book you have read and why do you like it?
Mr Tickle. Because he’s got massive great long arms and he can tickle people.
10. If you could change one thing about the world what would it be?
I’d let cartoon boys vote, and drive, and have more pocket money.
