THE SHOW
Little Howard and the Magic Pencil of Life and Death
Following the success of their TV show ‘Little Howard’s Big Question’ (BBC1) real human Big Howard and animated six-year-old Little Howard are bringing their family comedy show to The Laughterhouse!
Little Howard has discovered the pencil that drew him. But, on the other end of this magical pencil of life is the eraser of death, and a dark force is at large determined to rub the cheeky chap out for good.
And, as if that wasn’t enough, Big Howard has had a real-life baby who is getting a little too much attention! Can Little Howard escape his supernatural nemesis? How will he get rid of this pesky new arrival? Who knows … but there will be danger, drama and a lot of laughs on the way.
With interactive stand-up, 3D animation and lots of songs this really is a show that all the family can enjoy.
Big and Little Howard have toured their hilarious hi-tech shows nationally and internationally to Melbourne, New York, Stockholm and Aspen. Their TV appearances include Little Howard’s Magic Pencil of Life and Death (BBC1) The Slammer (CBBC), Beat The Boss (CBBC), Comedy Cuts (ITV2), The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (NBC) and The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala (ABC Australia). Their first book is ‘Little Howard’s Unpleasant Lullaby’ (Harper Collins)
