FRANKIE HOWERD

FRANKIE HOWERD
Stand-up Comic
Graham McCann

With his diffident manner, bland brown suit and chestnut hairpiece, Frankie Howard effected a revolution in stand-up comedy - performing an act that was all about lack of act, an exhibition of shyness, a comedy show in which the humour relied on trying to prevent an audience from laughing (‘No, no please, now ... now, control yourself please’). But his life offstage was equally fascinating: full of secrets, insecurities and unexpected friendships. Graham McCann vividly captures Howerd’s colourful career and precarious private life, combining new research with a wealth of celebrity interviews to provide the final word on a modern British icon.
