Josh
is an ex-public schoolboy, raised as a Buddhist who then trained
as a Rabbi before being kicked off the programme for being caught
with a naked (non-Jewish) girl, so perhaps it was inevitable that
he would go on to become a stand-up comedian.
Josh integrated these stories into his hugely successful
debut solo Fringe stand up show, entitled
Chosen
which played to sell out audiences and received rave reviews at
the 2008 Edinburgh Festival followed by a sell out run at the Soho
Theatre. In August he
will return to the Edinburgh Fringe with a brand new show entitled
Josh Howie: Gran Slam.
Already
a familiar face on the comedy circuit, Josh performs regularly in
London at clubs such as Up The Creek, Banana Cabaret, Comedy
Store, Jongleurs, Bearcat, Red Rose and King’s Head and around
the UK for the likes of Off The Kerb, Comedy Clubs Ltd, The Stand,
Just the Tonic and the Union of Jewish Students, proving
himself to be a massive hit at comedy clubs, universities and
private functions alike.
Josh
has also been filmed for the Paramount Comedy shows Comedy Store, World Stands Up
and Comedy Blue and can
currently be seen as the presenter of Movie
Geek, the Sky Movies show that offers all the latest news in
the world of cinema. Often
praised for his writing talent, Josh is a regular contributor to The
Guardian and is a columnist for Sky
Movies Magazine.
