Fans of Big Howard and his friend, Little Howard (pictured) will be thrilled to hear they’re coming to Bradford.

Following the success of their BBC1 show Little Howard’s Big Question, Big Howard and animated six-year-old Little Howard are bringing their family comedy show to St George’s Hall.

Little Howard has discovered the pencil that drew him, but on the other end of this magical pencil of life is the eraser of death, and a dark force is at large determined to rub the cheeky chap out for good.

As if that wasn’t enough, Big Howard has had a real-life baby who is getting a little too much attention.

Can Little Howard escape his supernatural nemesis? How will he get rid of this pesky new arrival? We can’t say – but we can say there will be danger, drama, 3D animation and laughs along the way. The show is the brainchild of stand-up comic Howard Read, who decided to create a show that would entertain parents as well as children.

Little Howard And The Magic Pencil is at St George’s Hall on Friday at 6pm. For tickets, ring (01274) 432000.
