Howard Read
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Howard Read is a British comedian and aspiring song writer best known for his work with his animated sidekick, Little Howard. His other creations include Roger T. Pigeon, an angry manager with a conversational style and worldview of Bernard Manning, and H:BOT 2000, a funny robot from the future. Each of these characters interact with both Big Howard and each other, proving him immensely talented at both joke-writing and technical wizardry.
Howard Read is also known for his on-stage human Guess Who? act: the audience guesses who he has drawn on a large pad of paper, sitting down as their questions exclude those of a certain appearance until only one person is left standing.
Read is a regular contributor to Robin Ince's Book Club.
In 2003, he and Little Howard were nominated for a Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2005, Read staged his own Comeback Special where he performed his first solo Festival show.
