This man consistently misses the boat when it comes to the comedy gravy train that is Mock The Week. A platform of such wide breath affords a comedian the oppurtunity to really convey his range. Hell they even have the direction of the show afforded to them a couple of days before production. Howard, however, seems to be capable only of rehashing the same tired old themes week on week. 'My mate this, my mate that wanked in to his brothers sock with hilarious consequences'. The joke was lost on me I'm afraid as I assume it is on many other. Lost or just incredibly tiresome at this stage. His penchant for shouting to make his pitch is reminiscent of the schoolkid who earned attention but for whom everyone else just found intensely annoying. In summary his success as a stand up baffles me.
