Steve Howze is a Brooklyn based comedian and writer who started out in Richmond, VA. An improviser with Coalition Theater, a writer/performer for late night talk show, RVA Tonight with Beau Cribbs and Richmond FunnyBone Clash of The Comics winner, before moving to New York at the absolutely infantile age of 29.
Since then he's performed at UCBNY, The P.I.T., and the New York Comedy Club. Steve is currently writing sketch on Magnet Theater's Malarkey.
Wolf Night is an improv house team at the Coalition Theater. Their show is a cavalcade of weirdo characters from all eras of history, though they somehow usually end up playing orphans suffering from the effects of the Great Depression. They play twice a month at the Coalition Theater's House Team night.
Cast: Josh Wright, Ryan Dondero, Z Seliquini, Casey Searles, Brandon Beswick
Located in Richmond's Downtown Arts District, the mission of the nonprofit Coalition Theater is to build an inclusive space where laughter connects people. Proceeds from 2ND BEST FEST help further this mission, supporting performances, comedic education, and community outreach.
