RIP Howard. Title: Re: Mr Nice Post by: Nakor on April 11, 2016, 12:02:54 PM Met Howard Twice - once after a show in Kings Lynn when he sat in a small town pub passing time, and once at Glasto about 6 months later - he was gracious and happy to share his time and to sample local produce.
Never have I encountered someone with such intelligence, wit and charisma. He was an absolute gem of a man. His books and shows conveyed his intelligence but he also had an ability to let a crowd hang in anticipation waiting for some payoff to an anecdote, his timing was perfect. He story's will be sadly missed. |
