Mock the Week's cheeky chappie has been a regular fixture on BBC3 of late. He lacks the satirical bite of fellow panellist Frankie Boyle, but makes up for it with sheer glee. His is an affectionate comedy, a medley of anecdotes rather than razor-sharp punchlines - the sort of stand-up you could take away for tea. And Howard was on particularly bouncy form during this 2007 show - recorded at the Bloomsvury Theatre in London and shown here for the first time - acting out tales about mile-high snogs and podgy toddlers, only pausing to break into a delighted dance.
