    If you like Woody Allen and Larry David even half as much as Josh Howie does, then you'll enjoy his comedy. Cerebrally neurotic, this nebbish stand-up is the son of the woman who inspired Edina in Absolutely Fabulous and boasts a media wonk's resume of PR, journalism, film and music videos.

Raised as a Buddhist, the ex-public schoolboy trained as a rabbi but was expelled for getting caught in the company of a non-clothed, non-Jewish girl, affording him a lifetime of therapy and a career performing well-crafted gags to strangers.

He joins actor and comedian Curtis Walker, Airdrie's Patrick Rolink and board game inventor and qualified hypnotherapist Eddy Brimson.
