Howard Walker
With oodles of warmth and dry wit he’s a Best New Yorkshire Act award winner & Hilarity Bites award runner up.
‘His oddly hilarious observations bring something inspired to any comedy venue’ – Buzz Comedy.
We all have a dream don’t we. Some of us have lots. I once dreamed that Davros from Doctor Who was chasing me. Put the willies up me it did. Then I had another dream that the “Mash get Smash” men were chasing after me so I went to hide, and then my granddad turned up and told them to leave me alone (he seemed to know them somehow, probably from the adverts) but they still got me and gave me an electric shock. That was weird.
Dreams though. Aspirations. Howard had a dream; he wanted to be a rock star. He tried. He tried so, so indifferently that he never succeeded. So after many years of half arsed-ness, he had another dream and put a bit more effort in. About time. He dreamed he wanted to be a stand up comedian, so this time he did it. You don’t have to learn the guitar you see.
I think the moral of this story is that no matter how much you want something, if you don’t succeed, just try something else. Ideally something that doesn’t involve playing a guitar because it’s difficult. Trust me. And don’t listen to people who say playing guitar is easy, it’s not; I tried for nearly 4 weeks.
