I love Frank and have lost count how many times I’ve read his autobiography. Got it in audiobook format a month ago and he narrates which makes it even better.
Frank Skinner has got a better brain, is a better writer, and is a better raconteur than Stuart Maconie, and also evokes nostalgia better. He is also funnier. But he doesn't need to remind us of his skills, because he actually possesses them. I read Skinner's autobiography a few years ago. It was great.
Frank Skinner is one of my all time comedy heroes. I grew up in the early 2000s and remember him on ITV and never liked him, it's only when I got older that I started to appreciate him. I started watching old shows of Fantasy Football League and was hooked from then on. Also love watching Blue Heaven, Frank Skinner Show, Shane and the many panel shows he's been on, too many to mention. I've also seen him live twice, once in Manchester in June 2014 and then in my hometown Huddersfield in November 2014. On the second occasion I managed to meet Frank and was starstruck, he was lovely and he remains to this day one of the most pleasant of my heroes that I've met. I do hope I see him live again in the future because Frank is one of Britain's best ever comedians.
Yes, I like Frank Skinner there’s not many people that make me laugh but I love his funny honesty , some of his gags can be controversial in many peoples eyes but somehow he seems to get away with it , life’s for lovin & laffin’ and he’s the man for it ! Brilliant!
He still is! I saw his stand up in London at the end of Jan, 2020 and he was hilarious. He spoke to two people in the audience, both called Simon. When he spoke to me, he asked me my name and when I said Simon he said "Are you fucking kidding? Mind you, as I get older, I forget people's names so you lot have helped me a lot!" Great guy, great night!
Ha I used to drive past that church with the massive white cross all the time on the way to and from work. Never realised Frank's old school was by it. Never classed that as Oldbury though.
Watched Frank Skinner on portrait/landscape artist !! Never liked him much before (not keen on stand up )! But he was great! Understated ,knowledgeable , kind ,amusing !! Then he quit !!!(Due to arty snobbism i think (accent thing) ) !!! Shame !!! Its not as good without him !!!!!! Come back Frank!!

He’s done a few books. I can recommend ‘On the road’ & ‘Dispatches from the sofa’ they are all equally hilarious.👍🏼

Thanks for the upload! Been looking for this since I missed it on TV back in 2001!
Thank you Chris as a alcoholic and a future comedian that has helped me a lot

I was born in 1968. I still haven't grown up.
Thanks for unloading this. 👌
Hilarious book, good doc. I have to say, that when I look at the stand up comics around today, keep yer Bishops, Kay's.. Frank is the best...bar none.
What a comical man he was 😂😂
This was great. Getting the book. Would be interested to learn how he kicked drinking.
Thank you for uploading

Fungi... Thank you and goodnight 😏
When Frank mentioned that thing his wife said to him. And he thought "I could be like Benny Hill" .
Book was great. What happened to Frank? He was rock n roll comedy...
He still is! I saw his stand up in London at the end of Jan, 2020 and he was hilarious. He spoke to two people in the audience, both called Simon.

By co-incidence only LAST NIGHT I watched an episode of Room 101 and Frank related that screaming tale on 16 minutes.

Frank is still the best stand up in the country,

What a load of crap

About as funny as pulling teeth--and this as the passing of the comedy governor Jethro was announced. Where's the justice?
