In late summer 2006, the London scene was struck by an odd ball of fire.
Gerry Howell..s performances lie somewhere between Mr Fantastic and the mysterious encyclopedia of Uqbar. His imagination casts itself far and wide as he recounts his early years growing up in a post office or his
experiences playing chess with pandas. He can tell you how Shakespeare was born in an ostrich egg, or about dressing up as an anagram for an evening out. Whilst his mind flings itself from one delicious idea to another, you may find his body cankering around the stage like a loose nugget of popping corn, or crawling up the wall like a wild spider.

About me:
“The one that got away, however, was unplaced Gerry Howell, whose stream-of-consciousness was weirdly wonderful. If there is a market for a bald Noel Fielding, Howell has it cornered.”
- Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard.
“wonderfully befuddled stream of consciousness”
– William Cook, Guardian, The Guide
“Gerry Howell […] fizzed with some truly original ideas and is clearly one to watch.”
"Ideas, jokes, obscure facts and surreal images tumble over themselves in the chaotic jostle to get from his brain to his lips, producing a messy, non-stop onslaught of words".
- Chortle website
“Surreal rambling brilliance” – Time Out
