2023 Edinburgh Fringe
Frank Skinner: 30 Years of Dirt
A highly anticipated brand-new hour from comic legend Frank Skinner ('King of stand-up' (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard)), following his sell-out hit Showbiz. 'Frank Skinner has funny bones... even at the top of the comedy tree it's rare to see his sort of fast-thinking but slow-talking instinctual wit...' (Dominic Maxwell, Times). 'Doing what he does best... the gags just keep on coming. Stand-up's coming home' (Mark Wareham, Mail on Sunday). 'Skinner is warm, impeccable company and his way with a punchline is masterful... a delight.' (Paul Fleckney, Guardian).
