New Act of the Year 2018 finalist, Jake Howie aims to bring some well-needed positivity to the fringe.

Promising to bring his frank take on life, love sex and politics with his show Read My Lips, Jake promises a journey through the lens of an eternal optomist trying to grapple with the wild truth today.

All you have to do is shut your mouth, open your eyes and Read My Lips.

Jake started as an improv performer in his hometown of Auckland and went on to appear in TV commercials, professional theatre shows and even on New Zealand’s longest running soap opera. He moved to London to pursue a career in stand-up in 2013 and soon started gracing the country’s finest comedy clubs. He has performed at the Camden Fringe, the Brighton Fringe, the Leicester Comedy Festival, the Bath Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe and went on to win the Reading Comedy Festival New Act of the Year
