Since starting in 2006, Gerry Howell has made quite an impact on the scene. His eye-catching style, which combines a rambling, rhythmic stream-of-consciousness with brilliantly conceived one-liners, has earned him award success and critical acclaim.

He is performing paid 15 and 20 spots all over the UK, and is regularly performing headline spots at smaller clubs across the South East.

He takes his hotly-tipped debut solo show, Gerry Howell’s Incubation Hour to Edinburgh this year. Playing at the Smirnoff Underbelly at 5.15pm from August 6 to 30.
