Brum’s Andy Robinson became a stand up quite accidentally as guitarist in ‘The Carpetsweepers‘ when his banter between songs reduced both the audience and his fellow musicians to hysterics. Tour support includes Sean Lock, Rich Hall and regularly for Jo Brand who Andy has now worked with for many years.
“The comedy equivalent of gold dust” Birmingham Post
Howard Read has performed stand-up all over the world from the Aspen and Melbourne Comedy Festivals to being nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award. He’s headlined comedy clubs up and down the country, won a Writer’s Guild Award and performed in front of Royalty. If you’re aged around twenty then you may well remember both him and his alter ego, Little Howard from their telly days. Little Howard now lives in Dubai. As well as cracking gas and embarking of fitful flights of fancy, Howard sometimes plays the ukulele, but only so he’s got something to hit audience members with, when they try to stop him playing the ukulele.
