This is his best ever performance by far. He was completely in his element and disciplined in his life that he just oozed confidence and togetherness. Absolute genius.
@Nailtheday - you’re so right, he’s a master of his craft. He’s the comedian that first got me into comedy when I was a kid in the 90s when I watched Fantasy Football religiously every single week, then his chat show, his stand up specials, even his sitcom Blue Heaven. Being a young boy growing up in Willenhall in the 1980s and 90s (Willenhall is just a few miles from where Frank grew up in Oldbury) I didn’t see any people on TV who sounded like me and shared my cultural background, so to see Frank Skinner on TV was a revelation. It’s no exaggeration to say that Frank Skinner changed my life because my sense of humour was shaped by his comedy and knowing someone from my area could make it gave me so much self-belief, I felt I could take on the world. You’re right about going to see him live, I saw him last before Covid in Wolverhampton Civic Hall and he was incredible! His crowd work is the best in the business, it’s like watching a conductor of a orchestra, he’s able to keep so many lines of work going all at once. Not sure if he’s going to tour any time soon but if he does I’ll be there because our Frank is my hero. All the best mate, when was the last time you saw him live?
Superb performance. I watch this now and then to make me laugh and it never fails or gets old. Mr. Skinner is a master of stand-up. All his performances that I've watched via RUclips are incredibly funny and entertaining, 10/10
So great to see comments from people who were at this gig.... I hope the guy who heckled him to get back to Bournemouth stops by.... I'd love to read the replies to him!
This was shown on C4 just after he had finished this tour , I taped it . There is only about an hour of it , I never knew there was so much more . Absolutely top drawer comedy , always loved him , funny as Fk . Brilliant , brilliant man .😂😂😂😂❤
I will always find the ‘vice like grip’ 40:24 and the 😬face hilarious, one of the funniest bits in stand up I’ve ever seen, I keep coming back to it and I laugh hard watching it, the whole show is absolutely brilliant.
This is fantastic 👏. Hadn't heard much about him before. Living in Tasmania, Australia we don't a lot of live shows. Will definitely be looking for more of his gigs on RUclips. 😂
I remember watching this as a kid and laughing my head off, obviously not really knowing the context of it. Watching it again in my mid 20's and it's still hilarious.
Because I recorded from the original tv broadcast and have kept it ,on my tv hard drive since then, to watch when l want . Not that hard to understand really .
Brilliant! I remember being a student in Birmingham in the seventies when jasper carrot was only known locally. He was also absolutely brilliant! Happy days!
34:36 - I still think this joke is one of the best he’s ever done. Amazingly funny, yet an horrific image, all rolled into one! Spat my drink out at the punchline 😂
Me neither. I don't think he should have done Some Mother's Do 'ave Em ( or whatever it was called,). A proper comedian. So glad the RUclips algorithm realised that I need to see this.
First time i've seen this. I was worried at first because the crowd sounded like they were booing in the beginning and within 28 mins they were totally loving Frank's performance. Amazing.
@@robbieflynn8821 Even thinking about that explosion has me in stitches ... It's extra funny because there wouldn't be any grieving relatives at the funeral .
@Nicholas Pagano Are you joking? Only time Izzard was funny was when he appeared on 'Question Time' dressed as Hetty Wainthropp. His outbursts of anger were slightly invalidated by his pink beret and clogs.

I've got this on video, still one of the best stand up routines ever
Can I borrow the video?
This is his best ever performance by far. He was completely in his element and disciplined in his life that he just oozed confidence and togetherness. Absolute genius.
😢Really? If this is his best performance I don't think he's really that great
This is my first time watching Frank. I've been missing out, he's hilarious.
He’s one off the forgotten comics off the 90,s he’s an absolute genius👏👏
Who did u like b4 Frank?
@@musiclemon9267 my 2 favourites are Louis CK and Bill Burr. But Frank is now a favourite too. And Kevin Bridges.
It's a shame you're not hilarious too. Poor comment. Sorry but thought you'd want to know. I score it 4/10.
Frank is a master of comedy, been lucky enough to see him a lot of times, if you can catch him, do. He’s an absolute legend
Or on You Tube.
one of the best I've seen, so relaxed with his audience interaction
doesn't seem to do many gigs now or if he does, not massively advertised- sadly I've only seen him live once in Belfast quite some time ago!

All the best mate, when was the last time you saw him live?
@@siep3417 I saw him just before covid in London. Feb 2020. Absolutely amazing!
Can not believe i haven't watch skinner before.... Brilliant natural comic. !
I was at this gig! It were Brilliant. I was 18.
I was at the gig just 👏
Skinner is funny as fuck! Saw this tour live! 90's music, culture, train spotting and Euro 96. Best decade ever! Spent it partying!
Superb performance. I watch this now and then to make me laugh and it never fails or gets old. Mr. Skinner is a master of stand-up. All his performances that I've watched via RUclips are incredibly funny and entertaining, 10/10

Watched this so many times, always makes me laugh out loud every single time.
I was at that gig and I must have watched this 100 times just brilliant 👏
Must have been amazing mate@@davidkavanagh9551
I was at this and I was still telling people about it for a year after. Brilliant funny man 😂😂😂
TaskMaster is how I know of Skinner. Very glad to discover his work
I was there.Great night.
This was shown on C4 just after he had finished this tour , I taped it . There is only about an hour of it , I never knew there was so much more . Absolutely top drawer comedy , always loved him , funny as Fk . Brilliant , brilliant man .😂😂😂😂❤
1998 and still fresh after all these years. Timeless....And I first knew him from Fry's QI. Brilliant.
Filmed for a DVD the midnight show extremely funny and a classic skinner at his best
Been looking for this, thanks, this is definitely Frank at his best
I will always find the ‘vice like grip’ 40:24 and the 😬face hilarious, one of the funniest bits in stand up I’ve ever seen, I keep coming back to it and I laugh hard watching it, the whole show is absolutely brilliant.

Had this on VHS!
I was at it. Brilliant
absolutely brilliant and it's good how he links back to some of the stuff from earlier on in the performance.
I remember watching this as a kid and laughing my head off, obviously not really knowing the context of it. Watching it again in my mid 20's and it's still hilarious.
megan cooper definitely
Quite simply the best standup routine I've ever seen!
Ken Dodd?
Are you a bot, or have you only seen two stand up routines, the other being Hannah Gadsby?
Wow he’s always be a great comedian and also his voice is great on radio
Thanks for uploading - Absolutely brilliant comedy
I even love the intro music. Classic Frank.
I watched his man in a suit comedy show a week ago.... Made myself watch it start to finish, cos its Frank you know.
Still got this on my hard-drive from when it was first on telly way back when . Absolutely Superb. LOVE Frank. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Why?
@@ablemobilewelding9682
What do you mean " Why?"
@@graemeadamson7272 just wondering why you'd have it on your HD when this is an excellent copy, that all.
Because I recorded from the original tv broadcast and have kept it ,on my tv hard drive since then, to watch when l want . Not that hard to understand really .
Sad act
Laughed that much,i almost passed out PMSL. Brilliant stand up!
Brilliant! I remember being a student in Birmingham in the seventies when jasper carrot was only known locally. He was also absolutely brilliant! Happy days!
Frank skinner is the best stand up comedian for the last 20 years
Not a chance
You'd be hard pressed to find better. He's a gem.
@Karl Wells Definitely agree, also Lee Mack and across the pond has to be Patrice O'Neal and Dave Chappelle
This is a great set. Frank was class
Priceless from start to finish!
My most perfect set of stand up I’ve ever seen.
That story about the Italian woman had me crying.😂😂
The guy at 2:37 who is picking his nose has been a 'This is my' guest on Would I Lie To You!!
Cameron Bierman which celeb was he connected to?
@@AB-gz9yb
He looks like the guy that was supposedly camping with Lee and their tent was stolen.
what a legend, ive been searching for this for years!, cheers for the upload!
34:36 - I still think this joke is one of the best he’s ever done. Amazingly funny, yet an horrific image, all rolled into one! Spat my drink out at the punchline 😂
"Superman putting glasses on...? What you fucking on about now?"
😂
Brilliant!
Saw this on vhs in 97,still a great show and still laughed att mr skinner.
I didn't realise he was this good!!! Absolutely pissing myself!!!
Me neither.
I don't think he should have done Some Mother's Do 'ave Em ( or whatever it was called,).
A proper comedian.
So glad the RUclips algorithm realised that I need to see this.
I’ve seen Frank live a few times. He’s still the best live stand up I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few!
"I hadn't heard her come in" 😂😂😂👌
“I’m a slave to pins and needles…” 😂😂😂
Very underrated does a good radio show Saturday mornings on classic Rock
The Siamese twins - “Any ideas on a best man? I’m fookin jokin with ya!” 😂😂😂
First time i've seen this. I was worried at first because the crowd sounded like they were booing in the beginning and within 28 mins they were totally loving Frank's performance. Amazing.
SimonTheBonsaiGuy lol
54:30 “Fucking hell, she’s alright!” 🤣🤣
loved this!
If you manage to get a hold of his autobiography, you should read it. It's absolutely brilliant.
Spending a lazy late afternoon pissing myself laughing..Bravo Frank.
Frank is outstanding, love this.
When the support arm comes out.
Timeless stand up
My mum this on vhs, years ago cheers for upload
H autobiography is very good. This guy was so funny and interesting back in the 1990s.
this was recorded on the Thursday and I saw him on the Tuesday he did nearly 3 hrs of pure genius stand up such a shame this was edited down
He is so funny and sharp
Haha just had a good laugh, happy 60th birthday frank
22:00 the woman definitely says "do you remember?" 😂😂😂
Thank God I left Northfield, some 50 years ago!
brilliant!
Still very accurate to this day- Richard saying the most inappropriate and brutal thing he could! And “you have to be careful what you say nowadays”!
Skinner is brilliant
Back in the days when comedians were funny - brilliant stand up!
He looks like James Acaster's real dad here
Who?
@@ablemobilewelding9682 James acaster
@Theo Eric Sounds like she should dump you immediately ...
Even if he was Acaster's dad, he forgot to pass on the 'funny' gene.
Acaster: about as funny as an explosion in an orphanage.
@@robbieflynn8821 Even thinking about that explosion has me in stitches ... It's extra funny because there wouldn't be any grieving relatives at the funeral .
You wanna go back there !!!
Best ever I love him so much!
Georgina Smith me 2
Mint. Cheers for uploading
Thanks for this ,pissed myself silly, funny as fuck
One of the funniest stand ups I've seen. His awkward sex stories are gold
Amen
The last story was gold 😂😂😂
Absolute genuis
Funny guy pissed myself laughing
Has he been in west brom lately after his opening comment about Wolverhampton
That was a put down about Wolverhampton, they'd love that at West Brom :)
I love his early stuff.
The woman's manic laughing from 2:10 and 13:44 in the audience makes me laugh!
Still love 💕 franks stand ups Does he still tour I wonder (post Cov-19)
👌 😂😂😂
He was in residence in London in February 2020, I saw him there and his new dates have just been announced for the north in July this year x
Yes, I saw him on Sunday just gone. He was absolutely hilarious, he’s the best comic going.
Best English comedian.
Nicholas,izzard tires to to hard to be funny,where as Frank is naturally funny.Just my opinion.
@Nicholas Pagano Are you joking? Only time Izzard was funny was when he appeared on 'Question Time' dressed as Hetty Wainthropp.
His outbursts of anger were slightly invalidated by his pink beret and clogs.
Jimmy Carr, Lee Mack, The Pub Landlord (Al Murray), Paul Smith..?
Yes she is Frank, yes she fucking is! (in reference to 59:11 haha)
What does Frank say at 19:57 please?
"Tell me to do the fucking decorating would ya" I think.
@@neilfreeman7173 Thanks very much
'And the thing with a headbutt...'
This is fucking gold
Genius
Can anyone tell me the name of the track he has as his intro music for this show?
Just brilliant..
SKINNEEEEER!
Oldbury’s Finest❤️
so many damn hecklers >
That last story I know I shouldnt laugh but 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Peter Kay totally ripped off frank later on about bullseye - in a less funny way IMHO.
6:26 😂😂
Why nowadays do most comics were suit n tie lol. This is old skool
I forgot how funny he is lmao.
Farking brill show !!
22.54 😂😂😂 died
Look at the fucking weather on that....what a lovely baby, when's he gonna move his fucking head - LMAO !!
Effortless stand up from the King
What year was this?
I have trouble remembering one joke, but he can go on for over an hour easy.
When was this show?
thesteveus around 97 I think
