Josh Howie heads to Exeter

Not many people who’ve had a sitcom character based on their life have then gone on to write and star in their own sitcom based on their life, but that’s what’s happened with here. Son of Lynne Franks, the inspiration for Absolutely Fabulous, Josh has decided to step out the shadows and Dinally make it about him, with the six-part comedy series ‘Josh Howie’s Losing It’ on BBC Radio 4, followed by a UK tour, Josh Howie’s Messed Up.

Taking autobiographical comedy to the next level, the sitcom and the tour weave intricate Curbesque plot that focus on real events in his and his wife’s life as they deal with the impending arrival of their Dirst baby. With a knack for falling out with people and getting into bizarre situations, Josh’s efforts to Dinally grow up and be a great father and husband invariably end in disaster.

Josh is a much in-demand stand-up comic, performing his distinctive brand of humor all over the world. In 2012, he was invited to perform at the prestigious Just for Laugh’s comedy festival in Montreal, Dilming the internationally distributed Just For Laugh’s All Access TV show. In addition, he’s written and performed four solo shows for the Edinburgh Festival, before sell- out runs at London’s Soho Theatre. Recently appearing on the latest season of Dave’s As Yet Untitled with Eddie Izzard, Josh has recorded for two series of the Comedy Central show Comedy Store, and featured on World Stands Up and Comedy Blue for the same channel. He also spent four years as the writer/presenter of The Movie Geek on Sky Movies. Often praised for his writing talent, Josh has contributed regular features to The Guardian, The Times, and The Daily Mail.

Josh Howie will be performing at The Bike Shed Theatre on 20th November at 7.30pm.
