Beer and Tricks with Brian Howard

With Brian Howard, every show is different, because he's so invested in the members of his audience - he feeds on their reactions, inviting their comments in real time - and as the audience members get more comfortable in their integral roles, they get even more involved, almost to the point where Brian has to rein them in a bit. He never loses control, and it makes for an exciting and unpredictable evening.

Go see the show - the Fringe stage is the perfect venue for his antics. Enjoy that tequila, Bri!... full review

I have been attending comedy shows since the 1960's. Brian Howard aka 'Broon' at Ren Faire is up there with Dennis Miller for cerebral humor.

My payment was having the opportunity to see this comic genius perf... full review

I saw this show Friday at 8 PM and he was great. Very off the cuff delivery and funny. The show was very casual with Brian talking directly to the audience pretty much the whole time and improvising with what they gave him.
