CORRECTION

hello

it seems that the ticket-line number for LOWDOWN AT THE ALBANY was wrong. The correct number is 020 7387 5706.

I've corrected it most places below but not all, perhaps

Edinburgh 2005: The Little Howard Appeal

Hello!

I am going to the Edinburgh Fridge Festival again this year! I wasn't going to go because Big Howard wanted the attention this year, but he changed his mind because his manager said I was a "Cash Cow". I don't know what that means, but I think it's rude. When it's the summer I am going to put ants on Big Howard's Manager's tie.

The show is going to be called The Little Howard Appeal and it is going to be about me being a thing called "A Coma". It is going to be very funny.

We are going to be doing some things called "Warm Up Shows" which are these things here.

Warm-up Preview dates for The Little Howard Appeal booked to date are:
20th April, Just The Tonic, Caberet, Fletcher Gate, Nottingham (http://www.justthetonic.com/)
16th June, The Origonal Oak, Headingly, Leeds
9th July, The Red Rose, Finsbury Park (http://www.redrosecomedy.co.uk/)
12th July, Downstairs at The King's Head, Crouch End, London (http://www.downstairsatthekingshead.com/)

If you want to go and see Big Howard without me to see if he is rubbish when I'm not there then look at these things.

Work-In-Progress shows for Howard Read: The 2005 Comeback Special booked to date are:
21st March, The Etcetera Theatre, Camden (http://www.etceteratheatre.com/)
25th April, The Etcetera Theatre, Camden
21st June, Downstairs at The King's Head, Crouch End, London (http://www.downstairsatthekingshead.com/)
7th July, The Lescar, Sheffield

thank you very much

Little Howard's Soft Play Area

Me and Big Howard are doing a big show every month at "Lowdown At The Albany", which is on Great Portland Street, which is a nice street, but it's not "great".

here is the front of the flyer that Big Howard is making for it.



It is going to be every single first sunday of the month, except August, because we are going to Edinburgh, and July, because we are going to the wedding of two scousers. We might do one on a different day in July, if we haven't been stolen.

The first show will be on Sunday 3rd of April and it will be the best of our things so far, and I will be interviewed live on stage by a special guest who I can't say who it is.

The Second show will be on Sunday 1st of May and then I will do some sketches with Adam Bloom, Glen Wool and Chris Banks who used to play keyboards for Busted!

the other shows will be very good too.

Howard and Me in Nottingham

Me and Big Howard are in Nottingham, where Robin Hood lives. I wanted to find some Robbing Hoods, but we couldn’t because Big Howard spent all our time getting angry about signs. Big Howard is dyslexic. Big Howard says that I am dyslexic too, but most six year olds can’t read very well, so it doesn’t matter yet.

Big Howard has always got angry about this shop, because he says it confuses him, and makes him think it sells something that it doesn’t.



But he says that in Nottingham everyone’s trying to do the same joke. Big Howard calls it “misleading spelling” and it makes him furious-angry. Firstly we saw this:



This is a massage parlour that can’t spell. And what was worse Big Howard went in an asked for a massage, and they didn’t even do them. He was complaining about ‘extras’ and I told him that he should ask for them in The Halifax Bank.

I found this one. It says 'sweet shop' spelt wrong, and they don't even sell sweets.



I can read the word 'mother' because I haven't got one. I said to Big Howard that his was wrong as well because Laurence Llewellyn Bownen isn't a ‘mother’. Big Howard said “well his is, and he isn’t.” I didn’t understand but think that if is he a mother he is very pretty, and if he isn’t a mother, then he makes me very confused.



This isn't about this, but the other day I found the Tardis in the park. It has seen better days. I tried to push it, but I couldn't.



goodbye.
