Josh Howie

For years he performed on the London comedy circuit, gradually working his way through the ranks.

He presented his first Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Chosen, in 2008; it received considerable critical acclaim.

He has been a regular guest and occasional host on the GB News paper review show, "Headliners".

[5][6] On 22 January 2025, during a GB News segment, Howie made a remark conflating LGBT equality with paedophilia — alluding to the LGBTQ grooming conspiracy theory widely regarded as homophobia.

[7] Following this incident, Good Law Project, a non-profit company committed to enforcing government accountability, condemned Howie’s language and began a campaign insisting broadcasting regulatory body OFCOM take action against GB News.
