A brand new show! -
Big Howard’s LOL-tastic Yukfest for Kids and Well-Trained Adults!
(suitable for all aged 5+)
Howard is a massive kid. A massive kid with a moustache. He makes words, pictures, animation and noises, nearly all of which will make you laugh.
This hour of fun features stand-up, interactive digital animation, sound effects, jokes and lots, and lots and lots of clever nonsense (WARNING! some of the clever nonsense will be extremely stupid).
Howard has had his own show on CBBC with Little Howard, appeared on The Slammer and in front of the Queen at The Royal Variety Performance. He is also a regular performer for the renowned Comedy Club 4 Kids.
CAUTION: May contain the word "Elk".
Little Howard's Big Show for Kids
(suitable for all aged 5+)
Big Howard and Little Howard, the human/cartoon double act and stars of The Royal Variety Performance, CBBC's The Slammer and Little Howard's Big Question are back with their unique family comedy show. A sinister figure threatens our heroes and the only way to thwart him is by putting on the funniest show possible (in their age bracket).
Award-winning children's comedy with real groundbreaking animations live on stage, answering back.
Little Howard and the Magic Pencil of Life and Death
(suitable for all aged 5+)
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.
