'I asked you to come here because I was frightened and you're my closest friend.' In the aftermath of their failed relationship, Nina calls on her newly ex-boyfriend Chris and best friend Vanessa for help. She has news... and it scares her. Will her friends believe her? No matter how implausible her story? And should they? Nina's Got News is the debut play from comedian, author and broadcaster Frank Skinner. His many broadcasting credits include Fantasy Football League, Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned, Room 101 and Taskmaster.
