The next half term break sees six-year-old Little Howard, one of the world’s only live interactive animated comedians, joined by his human creator stand-up comedian Howard Read, known as Big Howard, in Little Howard’s Big Show for Kids on Wednesday May 28th at Worthing’s Connaught Studio.

In Little Howard’s Big Show for Kids, Little Howard discovers life is tough in showbiz; his big new act keeps going wrong, Roger the Pigeon has spent all their money on cookie cutters, his comedy counterpart Big Howard has been diagnosed with being clinically unfunny and there’s a slug in the backstage toilet. Just when he thought things cold not get worse, a sinister figure arrives and Big Howard and Little Howard have to put on the best show of their lives to keep themselves out of jail.
Big Howard and Little Howard’s show includes interactive stand-up, live animation on stage and lots of jokes and songs suitable for all the family.
