Howland began with improvisation and an excellent acting teacher. He then spent a few years at a few universities before landing his first gig in a feature film. While at York University he formed the comedy troupe the Four Strombones. The Strombones performed in comedy clubs around Toronto for more than a decade as well as creating a very successful fringe show in 1994. He has hosted comedy shows as well as dabbled in standup comedy. He has co-written a sit-com called Rick’s Life with Adam Nashman. An industry based show that offers up the funny through Rick’s own unique perspective. He is currently working on a short film script that he will direct and a next draft of a screenplay that is still too long. As a songwriter Rick has been at it since he was seventeen. He spent most of those years practicing and writing on his own.
Howland has two self-recorded albums - one done in a studio and one done in a living room.[1]
